[Intro] Am G F Am G F [Verse]
A#                     Am   
I saw her first in a beggar's game

E                   Am               
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame.

A#                       Am                                       
Those people knew her by another name.

E                 Am           
I knew that she'd be mine,

E                 Am          
I knew that she'd be mine.
[Chorus]
A#                  Am      
She took me in on a winter's night

E                           Am
The air was brittle and the moon was bright.

A#                          Am      
My heart was heavy but her touch was light.

E                 Am       
Deep in the dance we wandered,

E                 Am               
Deep in my heart she fell.
[Interlude] Am G F Am G F [Verse]
A#                            Am      
The candles glistened and the water gleamed.

E                       Am      
She drew a bath and the windows steamed;

A#                          Am              
She looked like every woman ever dreamed,

E                 Am      E
In the heart of a lonely man,

E                 Am      
In the heart of a lonely man.
[Chorus]
A#                         Am     
She took my blindness and she led me through,

 E                         Am     
As night retreated and the daylight grew.

A#                             Am              
And with the first rays of the sun I knew,

E        Am      
Love had another captive,

E        Am      A
Love had another fool.
[Post-Chorus]
A                           Bm
The spell is broken and the chains fall free,

D       A                 Bm7
Finally my heart has come home to me,

A                    D     A
It seems I've waited an eternity.
[Instrumental] A Fm7 A F A A# Am E Am A# Am E7 Am E7 Am G F Am G F A# [Verse]
A#                      Am   
I saw her first in a beggar's game

E                          Am                
Her eyes were wild but her love was tame.

A#                       Am 
Those people knew her by another name.

E                 Am               
I knew that she'd be mine,

E                 Am       A
I knew that she'd be mine.
[Post-Chorus]
A                       Bm
The spell is broken and the chains fall free,

D           A             Bm7
Finally my heart has come home to me,

A                    D   A       
It seems I've waited an eternity.
