Intro
D Dmaj7
[couplet]
D Dmaj7 Bm7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
F#m#5 G
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
G/A
but for holding she's too far away.
D Dmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
Bm7 F#m#5
as the nights are oh so long.
G
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
G/A
that's how I wrote this song.
D Dmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
Bm7 F#m#5 G-5 G Ab/A
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
D Dmaj7 Bm7 F#m#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
G G-5 Ab A9 A9/A#
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
Bm7
But she's to cool for lovin'
Bm7/E
and she's to cold I've learned.
Bm7
She's too hard to handle,
G A9
she's too hard I'll burn.
D G
And I went out in the fields today,
D G
to scream out loud and call her name.
F#m#5 G
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
G G/A D
The less you give, the more I want.
