F/A Bb F C/G C D
F/A Bb F C/G C D
A D/A It's a case I guess of paradise lost G Bm/F# Ten years back on the hands of the clock C G In that little house on Mansfield D On your old block F#m G D Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got
Just you and me at a crossroads then
Ain't it funny how we were old friends
Accidentally thrown together
Did we intend
To be the romantic novel you never want to end
G/B C And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room G D And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune G/B C D You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life F/A Bb F C/G C D And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight' Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb In between the Star of David and the California moon Eb Bb/D F The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room Eb Bb/D We were crazy, wild and running Cm7 Bb Blind to the change to come Cm D In that little house on Mansfield Gm Eb Bb F We'd wake at the break of dawn Gm Eb F G In an Indian summer gone
In the candlelight I can recall
Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall
Like a wild pony dancing
Along the wall
Off balance I found love the only place to fall
Gm Eb Bb F We'd wake at the break of dawn Gm Eb F G In an Indian summer gone Gm Eb Bb F We'd wake at the break of dawn Gm Eb F G In an Indian summer gone
