Intro: [C/G] [C7] [F] [C] walkdown to [Am] [F] [G] [G7]

[C/G]This heart of mine keeps decent time
[C7]Though my ears may be weak
And my eyes may be all b[F]ut blind
I still have sense enough to [C]hear[C/B] [Am]
And I'm not [F]much without you [G]near [G7]

I've paid my d[C/G]ues

Done one or two
But s[C7]till it keeps a boiling [F]down to you
So choose to be my victory, or v[C]ice [C/B] [Am]
Oh either [F]way I still want you h[G]ere tonight

[Dm]Heaven knows it's [G]hard to find a[Dm]nother [G]
Oh [E]hell knows it's got a home for [C]folks [C/B]like [Am]me
[F]There will come a day
When the [G]earth will cease to spin
You'll [F]hold me close and say
My [G]god where have you been?

I've been a[C/G]round, old Chinatown
[C7]Happily lost but oh so easily [F]found
They're counting the stars above the h[C]ill [C/B] [Am]
[F] [G] (Optional [G7])
'Neath some old moon, humming my tune
I'll see you [C]soon

The C at the end could be wrong. I usually just repeat the verse structure and
repeat the line "I'll see you soon" until a proper ending, but if you wanna get
jazzy with it go for it.
