D - Bm - G - D - Bm - G ? A
[A] I've had [D] many times, I can [Bm] tell you,
[G] times when [D] innocence I'd [Bm] trade for compa [G] n.....[A]...y.
And [D] children saw me [Bm] crying,
I [G] thought I?d [D] had my share of [A] that. [A7]
But these [G] Miss You Nights [A] are the [D] longest [A]
Midnight [D] diamonds stud my [Bm] heaven,
[[ch]G [/ch]] southward [D] burning lie the [Bm] jewels
that eye your [G] pla?[A]ce.
And [D] warm winds that [Bm] embrace me,
[G] just as [D] surely kissed your [A] face. [A7]
Yeah, these [G] Miss You Nights [A] they're the [D] longest [A]
How I [D] missed you,
how I [Fm] missed you, I'm not [G] likely to tell,
I'm a [D] man,
and [Bm] cold daylight buys the [G] pride I'd rather [A] sell.
All my [D] secrets,
all my [Fm] secrets are a [G] wasted [Em] affair,
[G] you know them [D] well [G]
[D] Thinking of my [Bm] going,
[G] how to cut the [D] thread and [Bm] leave it all [G] behind
Looking [A] windwards,
[D] for my [Bm] compass,
I [G] take each [D] day as it A arrives [A7]
But these [G] Miss You Nights [A] are the [D] longest. [D7]
[G] Lay down all [A] thoughts of [Fm] your [Bm] surrender,
[G] it's only me who's [A] killing time.
[G] Play down all [A] dreams and [Fm] themes once [Bm] remembered,
[G] it's just the same, this [A] miss you game [A7]
and these [G] Miss You Nights [A]are the [D] longest. [D7]
