[Verse 1]
E
Did I abuse her or show her disdain?
A
Why does she run from me?
E
If I should lose her how shall I regain the
A
heart she has won from me?

[Refrain]
A E
Agony beyond power of speech
A B
When the one thing you want is the only thing
E
out of your reach

[Verse 2]
E
High in her tower she sits by the hour
A
mantaining her hair.
E
Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
A
a light hearted air
A
Aaaaaah

[Refrain]
A E
Agony far more painful than yours
A B
When you know she would go with you
E
if there only were doors
A E C#m
Agony, all the torture they teach
A
What's as intriguing or half so fatiguing as
E
what's out of reach

[Bridge]
Em
Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate
E
Passionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome
F#
And heir to a throne?

You are everything maidens could wish for

Then why no. Do I know?

F#m
The girl must be mad
A
You know nothing of madness til you're climbing her
Em
Hair you see her up there as you're nearing her
F#
All the while hearing her
Am
Aaaaah!!!

[Refrain]
A E
Agony, misery, woe, though it's different for each
A B
Always ten steps behind, always ten feet below
E C#m
And she's just out of reach!
A B
Agony that can cut like a knife
E
I must have her to wife.
