[Verse 1]       My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to you too late   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 Till I dare dream again              Em                   D                 Dbm7b5   There you suddenly stand and I’ll be damned If you didn’t disappear with the dawn        [Chorus] Hours pass and darkness comes Soon I will close my eyes   Will you return if you don’t reply You’ll be taking my life in your hands You’ll be taking my life in your hands           Taking my life in your hands [Bridge]    [Verse 2]    I don’t know why my dearest darling I can’t tell you how I feel when you are near   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 This correspondence will end             Em                D            Dbm7b5   I can always pretend words I don’t Have the courage to send reach you       [Chorus] Hours pass and darkness comes Soon I will close my eyes   Will you return if you don’t reply You’ll be taking my life in your hands You’ll be taking my life in your hands           Taking my life in your hands
