CAPO 3

Verse 1

A                                                       D                 A
The night was as dark 
as the eyes of a widow
 behind the cover of a funeral veil


A                                                            D
As cold as the four walls
, the floor and the steel bars 
of a November night prison
   A
cell


D                                                     A
So I turned away from a front door 
slammed closed and locked tight 
as the one to
    F#
her soul


E
And wondered how the bright flame
 of love in her heart 
could be snuffed out as 
             A
black as the cold




Chorus 1

D                                                          A
Said don't say good-bye, please 
just tell me you'll see me tomorrow


E                                                   A
Tomorrow's a far cry from forever 
but I guess it'll do


D                                                     A
I'm a long way from over
 the love that you've shown me in mercy


E                                                   A
If you walk out tonight
 then tomorrow
 I'm yesterday's fool




Verse 2

A                                                   D                        A
We danced for hours
 and I bought you flowers
 from a man that had no place to live


A                                                      D                       A
With a rose in your hair, 
missing worries and cares 
we retired to a warm hotel bed



D                                            A                       F#
I keep a dry petal
 and a Gideon's Bible
 to remind me of love in true form


E                                                                            
Cause on nights like tonight 
when the cold starts to bite
 these memories ought to 
   A
be warm




Chorus 2

D                                                     A
Don't say good-bye, please 
just tell me you'll see me tomorrow


E                                                   A
Tomorrow's a far cry from forever 
but I guess it'll do


D                                                    A
I'm a long way from sober, 
a long way from over your sweet smile


E                                                     A
If you walk out tonight 
then tomorrow 
I'm yesterday's fool

Verse 3

A                                              D                       A
My thoughts may be hazy 
or maybe I'm crazy 
for holding to love 
you let go


A                                                         D
It's like trying to hold fire 
that once was desire 
in the cold rain 
and hard 
 
        A
driving snow



D                                                             A
But it seems it's the same
 since the dawning of days 
It's the eternal price 
that

   F#
we pay


E                                                                            A
You can blame it on Adam 
or blame it on Me, 
I guess Man's just a fool either way




Repeat Chorus 1 

E                                                     A
If you walk out tonight then tomorrow 
I'm yesterday's fool
