PAST THE POINT OF RESCUE (by Mick Hanly; recorded by Hal Ketchum)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Each chord is one measure; tablature for the instrumental bits is
at the end.]
Em Em D D A A Em Em
[intro: instrumental #1]
Em Em D D
Last night I dreamed you were back again
C G D Em Em
Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Em Em D D
Placing those same kisses on my brow
C G D Em
Sweeter than ever now, lord I remember how
D D Em Em
Couldn't get enough of kissing, do you know how much you're missing
D D A A
No you don't, but I do
Em Em Em Em
[instrumental #2]
The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can't get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions I've been using, do you know how much you're losing
No you don't, but I do
Em Em
[instrumental #3]
G G C G
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
C G Em D
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
D D Em Em
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
D D A A
No you don't, but I do
Em Em D D A A Em Em
[instrumental #1, same as intro]
I swore I'd never fall like this again
Fools like me never win, came to my knees again
Can't close the door on the likelihood
Things might be just as good, I always believed they would
Gotta let your love invite me, baby do you think it might be
No you don't, but I do
[instrumental #3]
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do
[instrumental #3]
But I do, and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you, do you know how much I love you
No you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do
I know you don't, but I do
