G#m7
Things seem so much better when
C#m7
They're not part of your close surroundings
G#m7                        C#m7
Like words in a letter sent amplified
        D#m7
by the distance
G#m7
Possibilities and sweeter dreams
C#m7                               G#m7
Sights and sounds calling from far away
                 C#m7  F#7
Calling from far away

Chorus:
G#m7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?
C#m7
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
G#m7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?
C#m7                         D#m7
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
G#m7
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?
C#m7                               G#m
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me
F#              E D#m7
Sing softly to me

I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing
I wanted a story that couldn't be told
Only the fishing part of fishing

Chorus:
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then, now did I, girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me
Sing softly to me

And now I find
It was you all the time
In love again, love again
It's too late now
I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now
I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now
I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now
I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now
I'm in love again, love aga

    D#m7  Emaj7
And now I find
   D#m7             Emaj7
It was you all the time

   G#m7
In love again, love again
It's too late now
        C#m7
I'm in love again, love again
          D#m7
It's too late now

I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now
I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now

I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now
I'm in love again, love again
It's too late now
