[Intro 1]
[D][F][D][Dm][D][F][G][D]
[Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
Lying in my bed [G]It's
about 5 o'clock
in the morning.
I'm lying in my bed,
looking at my sleepy eyed pretty [D]girl.
I guess she's [G]asleep [D]now; God,
she's so [A]beautiful.
She may not mean a thing to you be[C]cause
people don't [G]know her like I do.
But if you've got [F]someone you love very much
[D]you'll know what [Dm]I mean.[G][Dm][D][Dm]
[G]Wish I c[D]ould get to sleep; so man[Dm]y thoughts
about her keep [G]coming [D]back and I'm so very tired.
[G]Things like [D]how I'm going to learn to
understand the way she feels [G]inside.
[D]I want her to love me and
let me be her man.
But that sounds [Dm]too [G]possessive; it's not meant to be,
it just sounds that way.
Or to search each others bodies with the sensitive
pleasure [Dm]of the newness of making [D]love.
So [F]new in [G]fact we didn't [Dm]get
that far [D]yet.[Dm][A]
We haven't known each other that long [C]so, for instance,
we're still [G]strangers and hold back at certain times when we should be [F]close.[D][Dm][G][D][Dm][D][Dm]
(Sigh) (sigh)

[Verse 2]
She [D]told [G]me she never had pleas[D]ure out of sex before,
sort of like an ordeal [G]a lot of [D]the time.
So I guess she doesn't really
[Dm]trust [F]men very [G]much [D]now.
So it looks [G]like that part of our relationship is gonna
take a while to happen the way it should.
That's [D]why it's so hard for me to fall asleep with her lying [F]here [G]– l[D]ooking so defenceless,
[A]desirable and [G]feminine.[F][D][F][Dm]
[D]
(Sigh) (sigh) (sigh)

[Verse 3]
Time is so short [D]these [Dm]days [F]but[Dm] there are some thi[D]ngs that can't be rush[Dm]ed and I c[F]an appreci[Dm]ate that lovin[D]g her is one of those things,
if anything worthwhile [G]is to be ac[D]complished.
Funny how in the day[G]time I never
get to feeling quite this way.
I mean, I probably wouldn't be thinking
these sort of [D]thoughts.
I'm looking out [F]the window, [D]see the dawn coming and sleep
will soon be taking [A]me to where- ever she is [C]now.
Sleepy [G](eyed) pretty girl,
[F]why are we so separ[D]ate and alone?
How do you feel when [G]the doubt[D]s's between
you and the one you love.
[G]It's still 5 o'c[D]lock in the morning
and I'm still looking at her[G].[D]
I know she's asleep [G]now.
[D]She looks so beautiful yet so [G]alo[D]ne,
[G]so [D]alo[D]ne, alone
