Introdução: Bm7 F7 E7 A A7M F#7 Bm7  D9 Bm7-5 E7/13- A A7M 
 
A           A7M             E7        E7/9 E7  
Each time I see a crowd of people         
F#m         F#m/E             C#m5-/7      F#7 
Just like a fool, I stop and stare 
Bm7         F7       E7     A    A7M  F#7  
It's really not the proper thing  to  do 
Bm         D9        E7    F7   E7 
But maybe you'll be there 
A        A7M            E7      E7/9  E7  
I go out walking after midnight         
F#m     F#m/E          C#m5-/7   F#7 
Along a lonely thoroughfare 
Bm7          F7      E7        A   A7M F#7    
It's not the time or place to look for you  
Bm7       D9     E7  D9    Bm5-/7  A 
But maybe you'll be there 
Bridge: 
 A          Fdim     Fdim               A6         A  
You said your arms would always hold me  
                  F#               F#7     Bm   Bm7 
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss 
          D9         D7/9       A        F#7         
Now after all those things you told me 
B7            B7/F#      F7       E7 
How could it end like this 
A          A7M                 E7           E7/9    E7  
Someday if all my prayers are answered       
F#m         F#m/E           C#m5-/7   F#7 
I'll hear a footstep on the stair 
Bm7           F7         E7    A  A7M  F#7      
With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door 
  Bm         D9        E7     F7     E7 
And maybe you'll be there
