Tom: C

G C G C

[Chorus]
    C                      F
I'm walking the floor over you
  G                          C    G
I can't sleep a wink that is true
    C                                                  F
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
G                      C
Walking the floor over you

[Verse 1]
C                         F
You left me and you went away
    G                                 C    G
You said that you'd be back in just a day
       C                                           F   
You've broken your promise and you've left me here alone
  G                                                     C
I don't know why you did dear but I do know that you're gone

[Chorus]
    C                      F
I'm walking the floor over you
  G                          C    G
I can't sleep a wink that is true
    C                                                  F
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
G                      C
Walking the floor over you

[Instrumental]
C F G C F G C

[Verse 2]
    C                           F
Now someday you may be lonesome too
G                             C    G  
Walking the floor is good for you
C                                                   F
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry
  G                                           C
Remember that I love you and I will the day I die

[Chorus]
   C                      F
I'm walking the floor over you
  G                          C    G
I can't sleep a wink that is true
    C                                                  F
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
G                      C
Walking the floor over you
