[couplet]
Cb Cbmaj7 G#m7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
D#m#5 Fb
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
Fb/Gb
but for holding she's too far away.
Cb Cbmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
G#m7 D#m#5
as the nights are oh so long.
Fb
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
Fb/Gb
that's how I wrote this song.
Cb Cbmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
G#m7 D#m#5 Fb-5 Fb Ab/Gb
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
Cb Cbmaj7 G#m7 D#m#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
Fb Fb-5 Ab Gb9 Gb9/G
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
G#m7
But she's to cool for lovin'
G#m7/C#
and she's to cold I've learned.
G#m7
She's too hard to handle,
Fb Gb9
she's too hard I'll burn.
Cb Fb
And I went out in the fields today,
Cb Fb
to scream out loud and call her name.
D#m#5 Fb
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
Fb Fb/Gb Cb
The less you give, the more I want.
