Lyrics
C Am F maj7 G Sometimes I get thoughtless get hung up on getting by C Am F maj7 G Sometimes I might seem lost in another place and time Em7 Am F G But you know that my love for you is still the greater part Dm F C So please don’t take it so hard If I seem lost to you and sinking ‘neath the load Remember its just a moment on a long and winding road That’s just my head you know you’re always in my heart So please don’t take it so hard Dm G If I seem......... composed and so self secure Em C It’s only in the safety of your love Dm G You are the one who makes it all endurable F G I need you there when push comes to shove So please.... be there to ease me through the time I let my troubles slip beneath my guard I need your love to take it up to the sublime So please don’t take it so hard Instrumental verse So please don’t take it so hard If you draw a way the sun goes from my day The stormy clouds they gather up above I don’t know what I’d be if you took your love from me I need you there when push comes to shove So if I stray in a thoughtless careless way A simple word will bring me back in line Your gentleness is the power of my heart So please don’t take it so hard Em Am Em Am You know I love you always have and always will F G You’re the one, the ace the final card Em Am If I’m thoughtless as I will be Em Am –you know I’ll always answer ‘guilty’ Dm Em So please don’t take it so hard Dm F So please don’t take it Dm F You know we’ll always make it Dm F C So please don’t take it so hard
