Intro
G Gmaj7
[couplet]
G Gmaj7 Em7
The wind carries her perfume through an open door,
Bm#5 C
into a corner street cafe.
Ab-5
And she's to close for comfort.
C/D
but for holding she's too far away.
G Gmaj7
And the days are growing shorter
Em7 Bm#5
as the nights are oh so long.
C
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
Ab-5
from memories and melodies,
C/D
that's how I wrote this song.
G Gmaj7
And take me home Johnny,
Em7 Bm#5 C-5 C Ab/D
Cause I can't take to see her with another guy.
G Gmaj7 Em7 Bm#5
And isn't it funny it seems like yesterday
C C-5 Ab D9 D9/D#
when she told me her love was mine.
[bridge]
Em7
But she's to cool for lovin'
Em7/A
and she's to cold I've learned.
Em7
She's too hard to handle,
C D9
she's too hard I'll burn.
G C
And I went out in the fields today,
G C
to scream out loud and call her name.
Bm#5 C
You wanna fly, I wanna bound.
C C/D G
The less you give, the more I want.
