MISS YOU NIGHTS

Cliff Richard

Written by Dave Townsend

F/g                F        F/g    Dm

I've had many times, I can tell you,

Bb              Am      Gm             Dm..........C

Times when innocence I'd trade for compan........y,

F/g  F               F/g Dm

And children saw me crying.

Bb          Am              Gm

I thought I had my share of that.

          Bb              Am  Gm          F

But these Miss You Nights         are the longest.

(Next verse same as above) 

Midnight diamonds stud my heaven,

Southward burning lie the jewels that eye your place,

And warm winds that embrace me,

Just as surely kissed your face.

Yeah, these Miss You Nights they're the longest.

C

C       F 

(How I missed you,)

      Am                  Gm        Bb

How I missed you, I'm not likely to tell.



       Dm

I'm a man,

    Am                    Gm                  C

And cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell.

C        F

(All my secrets,)

       Am             Gm

|All my secretes are a wasted affair,

    Dm        F

You know them well. 



(next verse same as first two)

Thinking of my going,

How to cut the thread and leave it all behind.

Looking windwards, for my compass,

I take each day as it arrives.

But these Miss You Nights are the longest. 

Bb 

(Lay down,)

Bb           Am      Dm             F Bb

Lay down all thoughts of your surrender,

Bb        Am               Gm

It's only me who's killing time.

Bb

(Play down,)

Bb            Am            Dm               F   Bb

Play down all dreams and themes once remembered,

Bb             Gm Bb             Gm

It's just the same, this miss you game.

         Bb               Gm          F 

Yes, these Miss You Nights are the longest. 

(*Note from the chords transcriber: 

F/g,   I do not know if this is what the chord is called, 

but I'll call it that just to give it a name.

It's an F with the little finger 3rd fret first e string.)
