[Verse 1]
Em7                  D             Am          Bm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the

Cmaj7        D
down side of town

    Em7         D       Am          Bm
And it lingered on long after she'd gone

Cmaj7             D
    I remember it well

        G             D            C         D
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin

       G        Em        Am        F   D
And we played a game only she could win
[Verse 2]
    Em7          D         Am     Bm
Her long flowing hair came softly undone

       Cmaj7   D
And it lay all around

    Em7            D         Am           Bm
And she brushed it down as I stood by her side

       Cmaj7         D
In the warmth of her love

        G         D           C          D
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light

       G                Em          Am           F    D
And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night

        G         D           C        D
And she told me a riddle I'll never forget

     G             Em          Am          F    D
Then left with the answer I've never found yet
[Verse 3]
    Em7        D          Am          Bm
How long, said she, can a moment like this

  Cmaj7       D
Belong to someone?

       Em7            D              Am         Bm
What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die

Cmaj7             D
We must almost be born?

   G                 D       C         D
So if you should ask me what secrets I hide

         G         Em           Am      F     D
That I'm only your lover, don't make me decide
[Verse 4]
Em7                  D             Am          Bm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the

Cmaj7        D

    Em7         D       Am          Bm

Cmaj7             D
    I remember it well

        G             D            C         D
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin

G             Em          Am        F    D
And we played a game only she could win

        G         D           C          D
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light

       G                Em          Am           F    D
And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night
