Dmaj7 A+
You call my name, ooh so sweet

To make your kiss incomplete

When your mood is clear you quickly change your ways

Fmaj7
Then you say I'm untrue
Am7 D7-9-5
What am I supposed to do
G13 G7+5 G7 Gm7/C
Be a fool who sits alone waiting for you

[repeat chorus]

Verse 2:

I see the light of your smile
Calling me all the while
You are saying baby, it's time to go
First the feeling's all right
Then it's gone from sight
So I'm taking out this time to say

[key change to F#]
