Intro
A# A#maj7
[couplet]
A# A#maj7 Gm7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
Dm#5 Eb
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
Eb/F
but for holding she's too far away.
A# A#maj7
And the days are growing shorter
Gm7 Dm#5
as the nights are oh so long.
Eb
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
Eb/F
that's how I wrote this song.
A# A#maj7
And take me home Johnny,
Gm7 Dm#5 Eb-5 Eb Ab/F
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
A# A#maj7 Gm7 Dm#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
Eb Eb-5 Ab F9 F9/F#
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
Gm7
But she's to cool for lovin'
Gm7/C
and she's to cold I've learned.
Gm7
She's too hard to handle,
Eb F9
she's too hard I'll burn.
A# Eb
And I went out in the fields today,
A# Eb
to scream out loud and call her name.
Dm#5 Eb
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
Eb Eb/F A#
The less you give, the more I want.
