Deep Blue Heart
John Mellencamp
[Intro]
  D    A    Dx4
DDaylight is leaving aAnd the Bmnight is closing inA  
DIn just a few hours Athe Bmsleeplessness begins againA  
GMy head feel Dthick and I Gam unable to Dthink
DI guess I’ll wait ‘til tomorrow and Gsee what it bDrings
AI have a little hope left and I guess that’s Gsomeplace to sDtart
DBut my memory is full of a GDeep Blue DHeart
DMy fun loving sense of humor Ais nBmowhere to be foundA  
DI stare into my own eyes Awith tBmears flowing downA  
GI’d sing out a Dsong but IG’ve forgotten the Dtune
DAnd the words now escape me but I thinGk it was about Dyou
AMy vision now is way ouGt in the Ddark
DWith just a little sight left of a GDeep Blue DHeart
DI see us both flying Ain the Bmclear blue skyA  
DFloating out on the ocean Awith the Bmsun in our eyesA  
GCaught in the Dmoment, jusGt me and Dyou
DIn complete honesty, Gwhere everything is Dtrue
AThat’s what I wanted to believe, Gright from the Dstart
DJust a little place for myself in your GDeep Blue DHeart
DCarve out a place for myself in your GDeep Blue HDeart
