[Intro] C  D  G

                  C
I know you loved him
D             G
A long time ago
Em              Am
Even now in my arms
D                      G
You still want him I know
                   C
But darling this time
D                  G
Let your memories die
Em                   Am
When you hold me tonight
D                  G
Don't close your eyes
                   C              D
Don't close your eyes, Let it be me
                    G               Em
Don't pretend it's him, In some fantasy
               Am                 D
Darling just once, Let yesterday go
                       G
And You'll find more love
                   Em
Than you've ever known
               Am                        D
Just hold me tight, When you love me tonight
                       C
And don't close your eyes

( G  C  D  G )

G                   C
Maybe I've been a fool
D                     G
Holding on all this time
Em                  Am
Lyin' here in your arms
D                      G
Knowing he's in your mind
G                       C
But I keep hoping some day
D                     G
That you'll see the light
Em               Am
Let it be me tonight
D                  G 
Don't close your eyes
                   C             D
Don't close your eyes,Let it be me
                     G             Em
Don't pretend it's him In some fantasy
               Am                 D
