Fb Fbmaj7 C#m7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
G#m#5 A
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
A/Cb
but for holding she's too far away.
Fb Fbmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
C#m7 G#m#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/Cb
that's how I wrote this song.
Fb Fbmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
C#m7 G#m#5 A-5 A Ab/Cb
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
Fb Fbmaj7 C#m7 G#m#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
A A-5 Ab Cb9 Cb9/C
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
C#m7
But she's to cool for lovin'
C#m7/F#
and she's to cold I've learned.
C#m7
She's too hard to handle,
A Cb9
she's too hard I'll burn.
Fb A
And I went out in the fields today,
Fb A
to scream out loud and call her name.
G#m#5 A
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
A A/Cb Fb
The less you give, the more I want.
