                 C   D             G  G/F#  Em
I know you loved him, a long time ago
                 Am    D                     G    C    G
Even now in your mind, you still want him I know
                  C   D                   G  G/F#  Em
But Darlin' this time, let your memories die
                   Am     D                  C   G
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes

(CHORUS)
G                 C               D
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
                   G      G/F#     Em
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             Am                  D
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
                      G         G/F#        Em
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
              Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                       C   G
And don't close your eyes

(GUITAR INTERLUDE)

G                  C   D                     G  G/F# Em
Maybe I've been a fool, holdin' on all this time
                    Am  D                       G                
Lyin' here in your arms, knowin' he's in your mind
                     C    D                    G  G/F# Em
But I keep hoping someday, that you'll see the light
                C    D                  C    G
Let it be me tonight, don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes, let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             Am                  D
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
                      G         G/F#        Em
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
              Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                       C   G
And don't close your eyes




             Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                       C   G
And don't close your eyes
