F                  A#m/F                    C
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
F                   A#m/F                   C
You appear and the morning looks good in my eyes
     A#/C            C
And then again I'll turn down love
A#/C              C
Having seen you again
A#/C              C
Once more you'll disappear
A#/C               C
My morning put to shame

G         Gmaj7                             Cmaj7    Cmin7  Cmin6
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
G     Gmaj7                             Cmaj7   Cmin7  Cmin6
You appear and the morning looks good in my eyes
    Gmaj7 G6         B        Bm7-5       Emaj7      B   C# C#m7-5
And then again I'll turn down love having seen you again
     F#maj7           C# C#m7-5 D             Dm7-5
Once more you'll disappear my  morning put to shame

F                     A#min/F            C
Sometimes I feel that this will go on my life through
F                      A#min/F           C
Each day I spend is an echoing vision of you
A#/C                  C
And then again I'll turn down love
A#/C               C
Remembering your smile
A#/C      C
My every day is spent
A#/C                      C
thinking of you all the while

      A#/C              C
Times I've let myself down
   A#/C             C
My head's spinning round
   F             Fmaj7
My eyes see only  you
      E
The chances I've lost
     A                 C
Opportunities tossed away and into the blue

You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
And then again I'll turn down love
Having seen you again
And then again you'll disappear
My morning put to shame
