Intro
F Fmaj7
[couplet]
F Fmaj7 Dm7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
Am#5 A#
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
A#/C
but for holding she's too far away.
F Fmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
Dm7 Am#5
as the nights are oh so long.
A#
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
A#/C
that's how I wrote this song.
F Fmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
Dm7 Am#5 A#-5 A# Ab/C
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
F Fmaj7 Dm7 Am#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
A# A#-5 Ab C9 C9/C#
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
Dm7
But she's to cool for lovin'
Dm7/G
and she's to cold I've learned.
Dm7
She's too hard to handle,
A# C9
she's too hard I'll burn.
F A#
And I went out in the fields today,
F A#
to scream out loud and call her name.
Am#5 A#
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
A# A#/C F
The less you give, the more I want.
