VERSE CHORDS: The basic chord structure of the song is - A (x2) Bm C#m timing is pretty simple - Oh have I been too dis- creet? A Bm C#m A How long am I sup- posed to wait? A Bm C#m A I think about you nightl- y A Bm C#m A Oh can you tell I'm lo- sing sleep? A Bm C#m A it sounds good if you slowly strum the Bm and C#m on an acoustic. play it in E-shape, barred 5-7-9 (sounds nice alongside the record).
