Intro
Dbmaj9           Bbm7             Gbmaj7           Ebm7    Ab7
Vers 1
Dbmaj7                           Bbm7
Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
Ebm7                         Ab7
With no vivid reason here to find
Ebm                Ebmmaj7           Ebm7       Ab7
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
          Ab/Db   Db       Ab/Db   Db
'round my mind 
Vers 2
Dbmaj7                             Bbm7
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
Ebm7                              Ab7
With you say "no special place to go"
    Ebm              Ebmmaj7       Ebm7         Ab7
But when I ask "will you be coming back soon"
          Dbmaj9      Db9
You don't know, never know
Chorus
      Gb6
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Gbm6
Hope my premonition misses
    Fm7                   Bb11
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
 EbmFm Ebm7Fm7Gbm7Ab7   Dbmaj7     Bb11
             (b9)            
‘Cause they al-  ways start to       cry 
 EbmFm Ebm7Fm7Gbm7Ab7
             (b9)
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye

Vers 3
Dbmaj7                          Bbm7
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Ebm7                   Ab7
Very slowly picking me apart
Ebm              Ebmmaj7        Ebm7       Ab7
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
          Ab/Db   Db       Ab/Db   Db
with your heart 
Vers 4
Dbmaj7                              Bbm7
Just the other night while you were sleeping
  Ebm7                                Ab7
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
    Ebm            Ebmmaj7                Ebm7         Ab7
But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping
         Dbmaj9        Db9
You just say nothing's changed 
Chorus
      Gb6
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
