Pickup C#m7-5  F#7+5  F#7

   Bm7       E7           D9    Cdim E7
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad

Em7        A           G/B Cdim  A9
I long to try something I  never had

D7           D7/9     G9                  Cm7
Never had no kissin', oh, what I've been missin'

Gm7            Em7   A9      D6   C#m7-5 
Lover man, oh, where can you be? 


    Bm7       E7      D9 Cdim     E7
The night is cold and I'm so a - lone

Em7          A           G/B Cdim    A9
I'd give my soul just to call you my own

D7         D7/9         G9         Cm7
Got a moon above me but no one to love me --

Gm7            Em7   A9      D6   Em7
Lover man, oh, where can you be? [Gm7][Abm7]


Bridge:

F#m            Bb7          F#m7        B7
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance

      E         F#m7       G#m7      F#m7   B9
Could be like a heavenly  dream 

Em      B+          Em7               A9          DM7
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make love to me,

Bm7           C#m7-5    F#7
Strange as it seems  


Bm7            E7              D9    Cdim  E7
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears

Em7            A           G/B      Cdim  A9
Then whisper sweet little things in my  ear

D7            D7/9       G9                 Cm7
Hugging and a-kissing -- oh, what I've been missing -

Gm7            Em7   A9      D6   Em7
Lover man, oh, where can you be?    [Em7-5][A7]  


Last time :

Gm7              Em7  A9 A7-9 DM7
Lover man, oh, where can  you be?
