Intro
A Amaj7
[couplet]
A Amaj7 F#m7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
C#m#5 D
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
D/Fb
but for holding she's too far away.
A Amaj7
And the days are growing shorter
F#m7 C#m#5
as the nights are oh so long.
D
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
D/Fb
that's how I wrote this song.
A Amaj7
And take me home Johnny,
F#m7 C#m#5 D-5 D Ab/Fb
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
A Amaj7 F#m7 C#m#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
D D-5 Ab Fb9 Fb9/F
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
F#m7
But she's to cool for lovin'
F#m7/B
and she's to cold I've learned.
F#m7
She's too hard to handle,
D Fb9
she's too hard I'll burn.
A D
And I went out in the fields today,
A D
to scream out loud and call her name.
C#m#5 D
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
D D/Fb A
The less you give, the more I want.
