Well FmI'll be damnedFmFm/GFm
Here comes your Dbghost again
But that's not Abunusual
It's just that the Ebmoon is full
And you happened to FmcallFmFm/GFm
And Fmhere I sitFmFm/GFm
Hand on the Dbtelephone
Hearing a Abvoice I'd known
A couple of Eblight years ago
Heading straight for a FmfallFmFm/GFm
Heading straight for a FmfallFmFm/GFm
As FmI remember your eyesFmFm/GFm
Were bluer than Dbrobin's eggs
My poetry was Ablousy you said
Where are you Ebcalling from?
A booth in the FmMidwestFmFm/GFm
A booth in the FmMidwestFmFm/GFm
FmTen years agoFmFm/GFm
I bought you some Dbcufflinks
You brought me Absomething
We both know what Ebmemories can bring
They bring diamonds and FmrustFmFm/GFm
They bring diamonds and FmrustFmFm/GFm
FmWell you burst on the sceneFmFm/GFm
Already a Dblegend
The unwashed pheAbnomenon
The original Ebvagabond
You strayed into my FmarmsFmFm/GFm
And Fmthere you stayedFmFm/GFm
Temporarily Dblost at sea
The Madonna was Abyours for free
Yes the girl on the Ebhalf-shell
Would keep you FmunharmedFmFm/GFm
Now CmI see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your Bmhair
Now Cmyou're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington BmSquare
Our Dbbreath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the Abair
Speaking Gbmaj7strictly for me
We both could have died then and AbthereC7

FmNow you're telling meFmFm/GFm
You're not nosDbtalgic
Then give me another Abword for it
You who are so Ebgood with words
And at keeping things FmvagueFmFm/GFm
FmBecause I need some of that vagueness nowFmFm/GFm
It's all come back too Dbclearly
Yes I loved you Abdearly
And if you're offering me Ebdiamonds and rust
I've already Fmpaid
