Em B7/F# Em/G B7/F#
I sat down by the solitary river

Verse 2:
Em B7/F# Em/G B7/F#
We've been together so long that I wonder
Em Gmaj7/D C G/B
And my mind is being fuelled by disbelief
Am7 Am7/G Am7/F# B7
I've gotta hear you say it straight to me
Em ...
That you still love me
Chorus:
Em C
I need your loving words more often
C Em
Longing makes the heart go soft
Em C
I'm worried that you might be lost
Em C
I need to feel the love you give me
C Em
And the warmth your body brings me
Em C
Need to see it in your eyes
C Am
That you still love me
Do you still love me...
