FORTY NIGHTS
(Kitson/Kitson)
Transcribed by Phil Gardner
G-Em-G-Em
G Em G
Lately, I've had a lot of time,
Em Bm C
To sit and feel these fine feelings on my own,
G Em G
And I'm sure, it makes a lot of sense,
Em Bm C
Anyway it seemed to then, how the weeks have flown,
G Em G
This time just sits heavy on the hands,
Em Bm C
Of this soulless lonely man, I didn't know six weeks ago,
D G
He's been around for forty nights.
C G C Em
I've wasted forty nights, I've cried forty nights,
C
Spent praying to the phone.
G C G C Em
Forty nights I've waited, forty times I've tried not to cry,
C D
Myself to sleep alone.
G Em G
Well I'm sure I should be reasonable and wise,
Em Bm C
Take the sensible approach, in calm maturity,
G Em G
But these tears come so naturally to my eyes,
Em Bm C
It just seems so unfair to keep this child locked up inside,
G Em G
So come back or I'll hold my breath til I turn blue,
Em Bm
And I'll never speak to you,
C D G
I've been practicing for forty nights.
C G C Em
I've wasted forty nights, I've cried forty nights,
C
Spent praying to the phone.
G C G C Em
Forty nights I've waited, forty times I've tried not to cry,
C D
Myself to sleep alone.
Bm C
I didn't think that you'd counted hours,
Am D
Counted seconds like I did.
Bm C
You suggested this trial seperation,
Am
And now judge and jury has gone home,
D
And now I'm left here all alone,
G Em-G-Em-Bm-C
Forty nights.
G Em-G-Em-Bm-C-D
He's been around for forty nights.
