Intro
C Cmaj7
[couplet]
C Cmaj7 Am7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
Em#5 F
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
F/G
but for holding she's too far away.
C Cmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
Am7 Em#5
as the nights are oh so long.
F
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
F/G
that's how I wrote this song.
C Cmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
Am7 Em#5 F-5 F Ab/G
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
C Cmaj7 Am7 Em#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
F F-5 Ab G9 G9/G#
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
Am7
But she's to cool for lovin'
Am7/D
and she's to cold I've learned.
Am7
She's too hard to handle,
F G9
she's too hard I'll burn.
C F
And I went out in the fields today,
C F
to scream out loud and call her name.
Em#5 F
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
F F/G C
The less you give, the more I want.
