  A   E7-9  DM7   A  E7-9 DM7      G7
Nights are long since you went a - way,

 Bm7     F#7  Gdim  Bm7   C#7       Bm7   E
Nothing I do  seems right with you gone.


 A    E7-9  DM7   A   E7-9 DM7      G7
Life's all wrong since you went a - way,

 Bm7  Gdim       F#7   Gdim Am7  E7  Am
Lone - li - ness seems  to  fill my room.


G          D9  Am7      G   Em7      A  B7  E
I long to hold you and tell you how much I care;

G          D9  Am7      G   Em7      A  B7        E   D7/9
I long to hold you and tell you it just is - n't fair.



 A    E7-9  DM7   A   E7-9 DM7      G7
Life's all wrong since you went a - way;

Bm7      Gdim =F#7 Gdim  Am7  E7  Am    D9  G  Am7  G
Nothing I do seems right with you gone from me

  A   Fdim  DM7
Nights are long.
