Verse 1
[Fm7]I won't be neglected
[C7]I won't be denied
The [Bbm7]pleasure of your kisses
The [C7]pleasure of your smile
I [Fm7]think you take for granted
[C7]I'll always be here
[Bbm7]Just because I love you
It doesn't [C7sus4]mean I won't disappear
Chorus
(Been so [Fm7]long) I'm missin' you, [C7]baby
(Been so [Fm7]long) I'm missin' you, [C7]baby
Verse 2
[Fm7]Thoughts and mellow memories
Of [C7]once upon a time
[Bbm7]Slowly creepin' on me
And they [C7]linger on my mind
Just let [Fm7]somebody love you
[C7]I just don't know why
[Bbm7]Whenever I get close to you
[C7]You want to run and hide
Chorus
(It's been so [Fm7]long) I'm missin' you, [C7]baby
(It's been so [Fm7]long) I'm missin' you, [C7]baby
(It's been so [Fm7]long) I'm missin' you, [C7]baby
(It's been so [Fm7]long) I'm missin' you, [C7]baby

Bridge
We [Dbmaj7]began lovers' [C7]dance
The road was [Fm7]smooth to [Bb7]romance
And we [Dbmaj7]sang love [C7]sweet song [Fm7]every day
[Ebm7]I believe that [Dbmaj7]love would stay [C7]in my heart
Now it's [Fm7]torn all [Bb7]apart
It's gone [Dbmaj7]away, I can't [C7]stay, I've got to say
I don't believe that you could do me this [Fm7]way
Now [C7]don't you understand
[Bbm7]I'm in need of comfort
The [C7]comfort of [Fm7]your hand in mine
And [C7]what I feel inside
[Bbm7]Why don't you come closer?
[C7]I, I can't [Fm7]hide[C7]
