If I needed someone to love
A                                   G/A
You're the one that I'd be thinking of

If I had some more time to spend

Em                F#7
Had you come some other day

Em                F#7             Bm      E7sus4 E7
But, you see, now I'm too much in love

Carve your number on my wall
