Tom: B

F#                             E                            B
You say that you're restless, you say that you know me too well
F#                             E                            B
You've seen all my best and you've heard all the stories I tell
F#                             E                            F#    F#/C    F#/B
You think you've been taken for granted, you're probably right

B          E        F#            B 
Still I remember a November Night
         Em           E         F#               B 
When the dawn on your doorway shone white with frost
B                                Em                          B
And the soft love that always began with the touch of your hand
    F#          E              B            F#           B
And recall the mornings that tossed your hair in the wind

F#                             E                            B
Time's made it meaningless, I'm insecure, you can tell
F#                             E                            B
But why am I leaving unless time had only meant well?
F#                             E                            F#    F#/C    F#/B
There's nothing left now to excite you, no reason to try

B          E        F#            B 
Still I remember a candlelit sky
Em?           E      F#            B 
And the summer surrounding the ground where you and I lay
B                                Em                         B
And though we were always alone with our secrets known
    F#          E              B            F#           B
We both were aware and afraid our closeness might end

F#                             E                            B
My love's like a dancer, she weaves through the dangers complete
F#                             E                            B
Her well rehearsed answers with rational reasons for feet
F#                             E                            F#    F#/C    F#/B
And if it decreases or ceases to always seem right

B          E         F#            B 
I'll just remember a November Night
        Em?           E        F#               B 
When the dawn on your doorway shone white with frost
B                                Em                         B
And the soft love that always began with the touch of your hand
    F#          E              B           F#           B
And recall the mornings that tossed your hair in the wind
