It's four in the mornin' and once more the dawnin' 
                           G7
Just woke up the wanting in me                    
 
Wishing I'd never met her knowing if I forget her 
                              C  G7
How much better off she would be                     
 
    C
The longer I hold on the longer this goes on 
                C7         F
The harder that it's gonna be
                     G7          C             Am
But it's four in the mornin' and once more the dawnin' 
     F            G7         C
Just woke up the wanting in me   
 
 
I never deserved her God knows when I hurt her 
                                     G7
That's the last thing that I want to do           
 
She tries but she can't tell how she feels 
                                     C        G7
But I know too well what she's going through
 
   C
If I love her so much I don't know why I can't do
                    C7           F
The right thing and just let her be
                     G7          C             Am
But it's four in the mornin' and once more the dawnin' 
     F           G7         C
Just woke up the wanting in me                            
                 
                                 
Last night I told her this time it's all over
                                  G7
Making ten times I've told her goodbye                      
 
Last night we broke up this mornin' I woke up 
                                       C    G7
And for the tenth time I'm changing my mind   

  C
I saw more love in her eyes when I left her 
                      C7        F
Than most foolish men will ever see
                     G7          C             Am
And it's four in the mornin' and once more the dawnin' 
      F          G7         C
Just woke up the wanting in me
