[Intro] D  Am  C  G

  D
Believe me when I tell you
       C            G
I will try to understand
  D               Am
Believe me when I tell you
                     C
I could never kill a man
                               G
But to know that another man's holding you tight
D                Am
Hurts me, little darling
            C                    G
Through the morning, through the night

    D
The bond has been broken
    C           G
The promise you gave
    D               Am
The words that were spoken
                  C
I can not be your slave
                                   G
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
D                Am
Hurts me, little darling
            C                     G
Through the nightime, through the dawn

  D
I dreamed just last night
         C           G
You were there by my side
     D            Am
Your sweet loving tenderness
          C
Easing my pride
                           G
But then I awoke dear, and found you not there
       D           Am
It was just my old memory
   C          G
Of how much I care

  D
Believe me when I tell you
       C            G
I will try to understand
  D               Am
Believe me when I tell you
                     C
I could never kill a man
                               G
But to know that another man's holding you tight
D                Am
Hurts me, little darling
            C                    G
Through the morning, through the night

        D                Am
Yes, it hurts me, little darling
            C                    G
Through the morning, through the night
