C D G Gsus G

1st verse:
                 C  D             G  G/F#  Em
I know you loved him a long time ago
               C   D                     G    Gsus  G
Even now in my arms you still want him I know
                 C   D                     G    Gsus  G
But darling this time let your memories die
                   C    D                 G    Gsus  G
When you hold me tonight don't close your eyes

Chorus:
                 C              D
Don't close your eyes let it be me
                   G      G/F#      Em
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             C                  D
Darling just once let yesterday go
                 G         G/F#        Em
You'll find more love than you've ever known
             C                        D
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
                     G    Gsus  G 
And don't close your eyes

2nd verse:
                   C   D                    G  G/F#  Em
Maybe I've been a fool holding on all this time
                    C   D                     G    Gsus  G
Lying here in your arms knowing he's in your mind
                    C    D                     G    Gsus  G 
But I keep hoping someday that you'll see the light
             C    D                  G    Gsus  G
Let it be tonight, don't close your eyes

my bad i was supposed to change the G/F# to an F
-stevenroche | 11/11/2005
The G/F# isn't an F, it is a G/F# because
you're walking down from G to Em and that is
the passing chord.
-lmofle | 11/12/2005
Instead of G/F# try D/F# And after Don't close your eyes G C G. This is what makes this sight so much fun

i think this tab is perfect as is... not if someone would just put the full intro with it...
-gorillas68 | 1/21/2009
And what also sounds good to me, is the way i play it i think personally. I would on the last chorus instead a C at "Dont close your eyes..." i would through in an Am and when you sing the last line of the chorus instead of G,walk from C down to i guess its like a B/Cb? to an Am to the G for the ending..? idk i like it, i guess you could try it out an see how u like it.
-geetarmon | 1/4/2010
the last line of the chorus is C C/B Am G
