--> Play intro during this verse
Tony - my head's on a pillow
Clock strikes it's the count of four
Four hours of tossin' & turnin'
In a big brass bed
I've tried all the tricks in the book now
But I just can't sleep no more
Tony, what's happenin' to me
I'm tired & I'm cold
Somehow I'm imagining things
Movin' in the shadow
And my face is a painting crying
In the heat of the sun

C G D A
Let the world outside - pay it's dues
C G A B
I'll never know why - no matter how high
C G D A
It's a sign that's been sealed & delivered
C D
Tony, it's lookin' into your

Em A Em A
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Em C D
Si-lent as the night you deserted me
Em A Em A
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Em C D
Si-lence - & the night lasted seven years

--> Play a variation of the intro during this verse
Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours
& I've counted all the days
On the pages of a calendar
& I threw it all away
Tony I'm tryin' to make some sense baby
I'm always tryin' to get through to you
Maybe you're the last one to notice
How much I've been lovin' you
