[Verse]
    Fmaj7Oh little darling
Please let it Gbe
I can be quiet if you want to sAmleep
I will say nothing, nothing
    Cadd9I will say nothing, nothing at Fmaj7all
Oh little darling
Please let it Gbe
I won't speak of the things you Amdream
I will say nothing
    Cadd9I will say nothing, nothing at all
[Break]
Fmaj7 G Am Cadd9
[Verse]
    Fmaj7Summer arrived while you were aGsleep
The days are sweet and sun-fadAming
I want for nothing, nothing
    Cadd9I want for nothing, nothing at Fmaj7all
The night is a blanket seamed with Gteeth
I don't know why it seems so Amsweet
It might be nothing
    Cadd9It might be nothing, nothing
But     Fmaj7autumn arrived while I was aGsleep
The leaves are collecting in our Amstreet
I can do nothing, nothing
    Cadd9I can do nothing, nothing
And     Fmaj7just when I find the words to Gspeak
The night turns cold and I turn Amweak
So I say nothing
    Cadd9So I say nothing
    Fmaj7And just when you start to fall aGsleep
You wake me up and touch my Amcheek
And I need nothing
    Cadd9And I need nothing
    Fmaj7And I need nothing
    GAnd I need nothing, nothing but AmthatCadd9  
[Break]
Fmaj7 G Am Cadd9
[Verse]
    Fmaj7The night is an ocean the stars are its Gfleet
They sail to the sun and reel in deAmfeat
They fade to nothing nothing
    Cadd9They fade to nothing, nothing at all
    Fmaj7Oh, little darling, stubborn and Gsweet
Can't figure out what all of this Ammeans
I would say nothing, nothing
    Cadd9I would say nothing, nothing at Fmaj7all
