Intro
Db Dbmaj7
[couplet]
Db Dbmaj7 A#m7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
Fm#5 Gb
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
Gb/Ab
but for holding she's too far away.
Db Dbmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
A#m7 Fm#5
as the nights are oh so long.
Gb
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
Gb/Ab
that's how I wrote this song.
Db Dbmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
A#m7 Fm#5 Gb-5 Gb Ab/Ab
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
Db Dbmaj7 A#m7 Fm#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
Gb Gb-5 Ab Ab9 Ab9/A
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
A#m7
But she's to cool for lovin'
A#m7/D#
and she's to cold I've learned.
A#m7
She's too hard to handle,
Gb Ab9
she's too hard I'll burn.
Db Gb
And I went out in the fields today,
Db Gb
to scream out loud and call her name.
Fm#5 Gb
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
Gb Gb/Ab Db
The less you give, the more I want.
