MELINDA
DAG DAG
DBm I tell you Melinda, I never have been the same
GA since I saw your face
GA And now the time and place we met
DA I ever engraved, I could never forget
DBm You're keeping me drifting, I seem to be sifting through
GA sands of stolen time
GA I long to make you mine but the hours
DA are way too short , but this is important
F#mBm How many times was I left alone
EmA When you used the phone to withdraw politely
F#mBmA Just before I walk through the door, I have to ask
G DAGEm Are you gonna make it tonight, tonight
DAG Are you gonna make it tonight
DBm I keep asking questions, the answers you give me
GA Are what I want to hear
GA And you've become so dear to me
DA I hope that it lasts, it happened so fast
DBm I know that he hurt you but has it occurred
GA that you did your very beat
GA Now give your heart a rest, I'll be waiting
DA But don't overdo, there's too much to lose
F#mBm I'll control myself when we go out
EmA I won't chew your ear or suck on your fingers
F#mBm We can both try to keep it light
A Now tell me please
G DAGEm Are you gonna make it tonight, tonight
DAG Are you sonna make it tonight
DAG (4) break
DBm GA You work at concealing the best of your feelings Won't you let me know
GA Don't you want to show you care
DA There's a world of wonder for those who dare
DBm GA You've got me to thinkin', my spirits are sinkin', I never was that brave
GA It's up to .you to save the future
DA I haven't a clue, am I going to lose her
F#mBm I wonder where we 're coming from
EmA and if the day will come when we stand in sunlight
F#mBm Have a laugh about the past
A and I won't have to ask
G DAG Em Are you gonna make it tonight, tonight
DAG Are you gonna make it tonight
