Intro
Ab Abmaj7
[couplet]
Ab Abmaj7 Fm7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
Cm#5 Db
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
Db/Eb
but for holding she's too far away.
Ab Abmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
Fm7 Cm#5
as the nights are oh so long.
Db
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
Db/Eb
that's how I wrote this song.
Ab Abmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
Fm7 Cm#5 Db-5 Db Ab/Eb
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
Ab Abmaj7 Fm7 Cm#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
Db Db-5 Ab Eb9 Eb9/E
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
Fm7
But she's to cool for lovin'
Fm7/A#
and she's to cold I've learned.
Fm7
She's too hard to handle,
Db Eb9
she's too hard I'll burn.
Ab Db
And I went out in the fields today,
Ab Db
to scream out loud and call her name.
Cm#5 Db
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
Db Db/Eb Ab
The less you give, the more I want.
