You know that there's an achin' deep inside me

I don't want to sound like I'm full of self pity

'Cause that's not the way I want it to be

All I need for now is your love to forget her

Love so sweet completely settin' me free

.............................................A.F#m.D.E..............A...F#m..D

The magic of her presence... who could walk up to her
E. .............................A..........F#m.D.
.......................A7........D
Who would even dare to give....... this woman-child a chase
...........................................................A..F#m..D......E....................A...F#m..D
Thought my nights were getting better..... just living by myself
.......E............................A.............F#m.D.
..............A7...................D.............A7...................D

D...............................Bm7........A................F#m7
Remembered when I was about that small

The park looked the same, but the trees were tall

Running and playing was my big concern
....F#m7........................Em7..........F#m7................Em7
It took a while taking in it all, it took me back, far away

The trees in the yard and how Dad worked so hard
G...................................Em.......................D
The good times we shared and how much they cared
Bm7.............................................F#m7............Em7
Mom's great smile - how she wouldn't cry, all they did

To make us grow, love and strong - hmm - to not do wrong
