 Em   Bm
 hoo  oo

   Dear  Lau  ra   Lau  ra  


D                  A/C#   
   Ev'ry once in a while    I'd
        Em7    Bm 
see her smile
    G                  D 
And she'd turn my day around;
                  A/C#
A girl with those eyes,
                        Em7
Could stare through the lies,
    Bm            G  
And see what your heart was 
A7sus4  A7
saying.
