 C 
The lips that have kissed her that's loved her and missed her  
 C G 
Are lips that have cursed her at night
 G   
In anguish and torment I've cursed as the night went  
 G7 C  
From darkness till dawn's golden light  
 C 
I've thought of just taking these two hands and breaking  
          C7 F 
The body I'm waiting to touch
 F C   
I find while I'm waiting there's no time for hating
       G G7 C 
While anticipating the woman I've wanted so much

I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours

I've put brand new sheets on the bed

I'm nervous I'm trembling recalling remembering  
     G#7 C#  
The way that she tosses her head  
 C# 
I've given much thought to the fact that I ought to  
      C#7 F#  
Have more control over my life

How can I fight it how can I deny it  
         G# G#7 C#                                
There's no way to hide it the love that I have for my wife
