Paul Williams - Waking Up Alone

      [Verse 1]
D                      F#m
I took my chances on a one way ticket home
Em                                  Gm
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I'd known
             D                F#m               A
Thought the time for settling down had come at last
          D               F#m           A
Guess I hoped to find my future in the past
D                                  F#m
Walk me with me darling where the wheat fields used to be
Em                             Gm
I will tell you stories of my times across the sea
               D    F#m            A
You're the legenday girl I left behind
        D                 F#m                  A
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind

[Chorus]
B               D#m                G#
  And oh, your children, well the youngest looks just like you
         Em
She's a picture of her mother
              Gm
But there'll never be another
            D       F#m
Quite like you
           G           A                 D      F#m
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
Em          A                   D          F#m
   So good night, I'll take my memories to bed
     Em                A         D        F#m    D
You know that be I'll waking up alone

[Verse 2]
D                      F#m
I should have noticed that the years were slipping by
Em                                  Gm
Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye
        D             F#m                   A
Like an old familiar poem that just won't rhyme
         D               F#m               A
I could get back to the place but not the time

[Chorus]
B               D#m                G#
  And oh, your children, well the youngest looks just like you
         Em
She's a picture of her mother
              Gm
But there'll never be another
            D       F#m
Quite like you
           G           A                 D      F#m
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
Em          A                   D          F#m
   So good night, I'll take my memories to bed
     Em                A         D            F#m
You know that I'll be waking up alone... For you

           G           A                 D      F#m
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
Em          A                   D          F#m
   So good night, I'll take my memories to bed
     Em                A         D     A      F#m
You know that I'll be waking up alone... For you
