   Dm7                 G7       C    Am   
I guess I'll have to dream the rest,

   C9          Cdim        Dm7             G7
If you can't remember the things that you said,

     C9            Cdim     Dm7              G7
The nights that my shoulder held your sleepy head;

   CM7              Gdim       F     Fm7
If you believe that parting's best,

   Dm7              Fdim(III)     G
I guess I'll have to  dream the rest.


  Dm7                 G7      C   Am   
I guess I'll have to dream alone

   C9         Cdim        Dm7          G7
Of honeymoon cruises once dear to my heart,

    C9       Cdim       Dm7                G7
Of one room apartments where we said we'd start,

   CM7               Gdim        F     
Of foolish things we planned to own,

  Dm7                 G7     C
I guess I'll have to dream alone.



Bridge:


Dm7 G7  Am  Am7      Dm7            G7     C     C7
I   can see    that your heart has gone astray;

Dm7 G7 Am  Am7      F           Dm7      G7
As for me,    I'll love you the same old way.


  Dm7                 G7        C   Am   
I guess I'll have to dream the rest;

         C9            Cdim        Dm7              G
There'll be no friends waiting to throw shoes and rice;

C9            Cdim          Dm7          G7
Those heavenly moments will never come twice;

    CM7              Gdim          A7
I'm thankful for the hours you've bless'd --

  Dm7                G7         C
I guess I'll have to dream the rest.
