CAPO 3
Verse 1
A D A
The night was as dark
as the eyes of a widow
behind the cover of a funeral veil
A D
As cold as the four walls
, the floor and the steel bars
of a November night prison
A
cell
D A
So I turned away from a front door
slammed closed and locked tight
as the one to
F#
her soul
E
And wondered how the bright flame
of love in her heart
could be snuffed out as
A
black as the cold
Chorus 1
D A
Said don't say good-bye, please
just tell me you'll see me tomorrow
E A
Tomorrow's a far cry from forever
but I guess it'll do
D A
I'm a long way from over
the love that you've shown me in mercy
E A
If you walk out tonight
then tomorrow
I'm yesterday's fool
Verse 2
A D A
We danced for hours
and I bought you flowers
from a man that had no place to live
A D A
With a rose in your hair,
missing worries and cares
we retired to a warm hotel bed
D A F#
I keep a dry petal
and a Gideon's Bible
to remind me of love in true form
E
Cause on nights like tonight
when the cold starts to bite
these memories ought to
A
be warm
Chorus 2
D A
Don't say good-bye, please
just tell me you'll see me tomorrow
E A
Tomorrow's a far cry from forever
but I guess it'll do
D A
I'm a long way from sober,
a long way from over your sweet smile
E A
If you walk out tonight
then tomorrow
I'm yesterday's fool
Instrumental
A E E A
Verse 3
A D A
My thoughts may be hazy
or maybe I'm crazy
for holding to love
you let go
A D
It's like trying to hold fire
that once was desire
in the cold rain
and hard
A
driving snow
D A
But it seems it's the same
since the dawning of days
It's the eternal price
that
F#
we pay
E A
You can blame it on Adam
or blame it on Me,
I guess Man's just a fool either way
Repeat Chorus 1
E A
If you walk out tonight then tomorrow
I'm yesterday's fool
