[Verse 1]
G#m F#6 Fm7b5 E
My dear impulsive darling
A6 Gdim7 F#7
I suspect my letter got to you too late
G#m C#7 F# D#m
And it's really just a silly fragment of paper
D#7 A#7b13 D#7
But it means so much to those who wait
Em D Dbm7b5
All the suffering days and nights
C F Bb Gb B F
Till I dare dream again
Em D Dbm7b5
There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned
Am9 C F7 G
If you didn't disappear with the dawn
[Chorus]
E C#m A B7
Hours pass and darkness comes
A E B7 E
Soon I will close my eyes
E C#m A B7
Will you return if you don't reply
A E B7
You'll be taking my life in your hands
E F F#m (G#m) A (A#dim7) B7 (Cdim7 C#m) E
You'll be taking my life in your hands
F#m A E
Taking my life in your hands
[Bridge]
G#m F#6 E D#7
[Verse 2]
G#m F#6 Fm7b5 E
I don't know why my dearest darling
A6 Gdim7 F#7
I can't tell you how I feel when you are near
G#m C#7 F# D#m
When I see you have returned my letters unopened
D#7 A#7b13 D#7
I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears
Em D Dbm7b5
But you're kidding yourself if you think
C F Bb Gb B F
This correspondence will end
Em D Dbm7b5
I can always pretend words I don't
Am C F7 G
Have the courage to send reach you
[Chorus]
E C#m A B7
Hours pass and darkness comes
A E B7 E
Soon I will close my eyes
E C#m A B7
Will you return if you don't reply
A E B7
You'll be taking my life in your hands
E F F#m (G#m) A (A#dim7) B7 (Cdim7 C#m) E
You'll be taking my life in your hands
F#m A E
Taking my life in your hands
E
