Am7           D
   I felt all flushed with fever
Gmaj7            C
     embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7          D
   I felt he found my letters
    Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7              D7
   I prayed that he would finish
Gmaj7             B7
      but he just kept right on.

    And then he looked right through me
   Em
as if I wasn't there.

   And he just kept on singing
Gmaj7         B7
      singing clear and strong.
