Last [Dm]night I dreamed [C]you were back again
[Bb]Larger than [F]life again, [C]holding me [Dm]tight again
[Dm]Placing those same [C]kisses on my brow
[Bb]Sweeter than ever [F]now Lord [C]I remember [Dm]how
[C]Couldn’t get enough of kissing [Dm]do you know how much I’m missing
[C]No you don’t, but I [G]do


[Dm]Days like a slow train [C]trickle by
[Bb]Even the [F]words I [C]write re[Dm]fuse to fly
[Dm]All that I can hear is your song [C]haunting me
[Bb]Can’t get the [F]melody [C]out of my [Dm]head you see
[C]Distractions I’ve been using
[Dm]Do you know how much you’re losing
[C]No you don’t, but I [G]do


But I [F]do, and I wonder if I’m [Bb]past the [F]point of rescue
[Bb]There’s no word from [F]you at all the [Dm]best that you can [C]do
I [C]never meant to push or shove you
[Dm]Do you know how much I love you
[C]No you don’t, but I [G]do.


[Dm]I swore I’d never fall like [C]this again
[Bb]But fools like me [F]never win, [C]came to my [Dm]knees again
[Dm]Can’t close the door on the [C]likelihood
That [Bb]things might be [F]just as good, [C]always be[Dm]lieved they would
[C]Got to let your love invite, [Dm]do you think they might be
[C]No you don’t, but I [G]do


But I [F]do, and I wonder if I’m [Bb]past the [F]point of rescue
[Bb]There’s no word from [F]you at all the [Dm]best that you can [C]do
I [C]never meant to push or shove you
[Dm]Do you know how much I love you
[C]No you don’t, but I [Dm]do.
[C]No you don’t, but I [Dm]do.
[C]No you don’t, but I [Dm]do.
