Intro

[C] [Bb] [Am] [F] (x2)

Verse 1

[C] [Bb]

When the picture tells it all

[Bm] [Am] [G] [F]

There′s no need for trying or pretending

[C] [Bb]

With your suitcase in the hall

[Bm] [Am] [G] [F]

It's not a time for lying, no more crying

[G] [C] [Bbmaj7] [F] [G]

I gave a heart that I may never see return to me

Chorus

[Am7] [Dm7]

Hold me, like you used to do before

[F] [G]

Let me wrap my arms around you baby

[Am7] [Dm7]

You told me that you′d never leave no more

[F] [G]

So I wrap my life around you

Verse 2

[C] [Bb]

Before the pleasure turns to shame

[Bm] [Am] [G] [F]

It's a time for leaving not deceiving

[C] [Gm] [Bb]

And, though a promise has been made

[Bm] [Am] [F]

I would never hold you from what you need to do

[C] [Bbmaj7] [F] [G]

You keep the years but the moments I'll keep near forever dear

Chorus

[Am7] [Dm7]

Hold me, like you used to do before

[F] [G]

Let me wrap my arms around you baby

[Am7] [Dm7]

You told me that you′d never leave no more

[F] [G]

So I wrap my life around you

[F] [G]

Let me wrap my arms around you baby

[Am7] [Dm7]

You told me that you′d never leave no more

[F] [G]

So I wrap my life around you

[Em] [Emmaj7]

The passage of years

[Bm] [Em7]

My song you might hear

[Cm] [Ebmaj7]

In some caught-up and lonely cafe

[Dm] [F]

And wonder could it ever be

[G7] [Cmaj7]

That good again?

[Bm7]

Guess we'll never know (We′ll never know)

Chorus

[Am7] [Dm7]

Hold me, like you used to do before

Let me wrap my arms around you baby

So I wrap my life around you

So I wrap my life around you

[Am7] [Dm7]

Hold me, like you used to do before

[F] [G]

Let me wrap my arms around you baby

[Am7] [Dm7]

You told me that you′d never leave no more
