Bb         Eb                  Cm           Eb
The second hand counts  out my thoughts of you
Bb              Eb             Cm   Eb
And every heartbeat says your name
Bb            Eb              Cm    Eb
But you don't know me and the way I feel
F             Eb
But still the truth remains
F             Eb
My blood runs through your veins
F         Gm                  Eb            Bb
How can I hold you close when you're so far away
F             Gm          Eb
How long will we still be apart
F            Gm              Eb              Bb
How will you ever hear these words I want to say
Cm           Eb           Cm
How will you ever know my heart
Cm           Eb            Bb
How will you ever know my heart
Bb          Eb             Cm    Eb
I'm writing letters to you every day
Bb         Eb           Cm   Eb
And then I mail them to myself
Bb          Eb             Cm        Eb
And here inside a box they wait for you
F         Eb
And every day is postmarked
F             Eb
I've held you here in my heart
F         Gm                  Eb            Bb
How can I hold you close when you're so far away
F             Gm          Eb
How long will we still be apart
F            Gm              Eb              Bb
How will you ever hear these words I want to say
Cm           Eb           Cm
How will you ever know my heart
Cm           Eb           Cm
How will you ever know my heart
Cm           Ab
How will you know my know my heart

Bb             Eb          Cm         Eb
Looking at the ashes of mistakes I've made
Bb        Eb           Cm   Eb
I see the outline of a heart
Bb             Eb
Well I've gone wrong
            Cm       Eb
But still I know sometimes
F              Eb           F            Eb
God serves the best wine up right from a paper cup
F         Gm                  Eb            Bb
How can I hold you close when you're so far away
F             Gm          Eb
How long will we still be apart
F         Gm                     Eb              Bb
Someday I know you'll hear these words I want to say
Cm           Eb           Cm
Someday your gonna know my heart
Cm              Eb      Bb
Someday  you'll know my heart
