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?
