C D G G/F# Em
I know you loved him a long time ago

Even now in my arms you still want him I know
C D G G/F# Em
But darling this time let your memories die
C D G Gsus G
When you hold me tonight don't close your eyes
Chorus:
C D
Don't close your eyes let it be me
G G/F# Em
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
C D
Darling just once let yesterday go
G G/F# Em
You'll find more love than you've ever known
C D
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
G Gsus G
And don't close your eyes
2nd verse:
Maybe I've been a fool holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping someday that you'll see the light
Let it be tonight, don't close your eyes
(chorus twice)
At the end of the chorus, when he gets to "eyes",
