INTRO:
F Dm Bb F Dm Bb C
VERSE 1:
F Dm
I've had many times, I can tell you,
Bb F Dm Bb C
Times when innocence, I'd trade for compa - n - y.
F Dm Bb F C C7
And children saw me crying, I thought I'd had my share of that.
Bb Csus4 C7 F C
But these miss you nights, are the longest.
VERSE 2:
F Dm
Midnight diamonds, stud my heaven,
Bb F Dm Bb C
South ward burning lie the jewels that eye your pla - ce.
F Dm Bb F C C7
And warm winds, that embrace me, just as surely kissed your face.
Bb Csus4 C7 F C
Yeah these miss you nights, they're the longest.
CHORUS 1:
F Dm Bb
(How I missed you), how I missed you, I'm not likely to tell.
F Dm Bb C
I'm a man, and cold daylight, Buys the pride I'd rather sell.
F Dm Bb Dm
(All my secrets), all my secrets, are a wasted affair,
Bb F Bb F
You know them well.
VERSE 3:
F Dm
Thinking of my going,
Bb F Dm Gm C
How to cut the thread, and leave it all behi - nd.
F Dm Bb F C C7
Looking windward, for my compass, I take each day as it ar - rives.
Bb C Csus C7 F F7
But these miss you nights, are the longest.
CHORUS 2:
Bb C Am Dm
(Lay down), lay down all thoughts, of your sur - render
Gm C
It’s only me who's killing time,
Bb C Am Dm
(Lay down), lay down all dreams, and themes once re - membered.
Bb C
It’s just the same, this miss you game.
