Intro:  C 
 
 
C                   C/A             C 
There's a soft rain tappin' on your window 
C                     C7              F 
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay 
G7                                G 
And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows 
F                    G 
To music playin' far away 
 
C       C/A              C 
I never meant to stay an hour 
C              C7            F 
I thought that I was passin' through 
G7                     G 
Another town along the highway 
F       G                 C 
I never meant to fall for you 
 
F           G              C 
But I can't speak for you, Maria 
Bdim                  F 
I only know the way I feel 
F      G               C     F 
When I sleep with you, Maria 
Dm              G                  C 
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal 
 
C    C/A           C 
On a Bible by the mirror 
C        C7                 F 
The only treasure's that we hold 
G7                          G 
The only secrets that we're keeping 
F          G                 C 
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold 
 
F       G              C 
I can't speak for you, Maria 
Bdim                  F 
I only know the way I feel 
F      G               C     F 
When I sleep with you, Maria 
Dm              G                  C 
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal 
 
Instrumental:  Bdim  F  G  C 
 
C        C/A                 C 
When the sunlight brings the morning 
C       C7                 F 
I can't tell you what I'll do 
G7                          G 
But I've a mind to take you with me 
F          G                  C 
And I've a heart to stay with you 
 
 
F           G              C 
But I can't speak for you, Maria 
Bdim                  F 
I only know the way I feel 
F      G               C     F 
When I sleep with you, Maria 
Dm              G                  C 
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal 
 
F      G               C     F 
When I sleep with you, Maria 
Dm              G                  C 
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
