Amaj7                         Gmaj7
     You once asked me what I wanted out of life

Amaj7                            E7sus
     Well, I guess it’s just the life of laughter and smiles,

   E7sus
To be Cinderella-man for a while

            Amaj7           Gmaj7
But there’s so many miles I got to go

Dmaj7                          E7sus
      You once asked me what I wanted out of life

Amaj7                            E7sus
     Well, I guess it’s just the white, white of a light when you love me all night

            Amaj7                     Gmaj7
But this is brightness so dazzling my head must turn

Gmaj7                        Amaj7
     You know my head must turn
[Midtro] G A x2 [Chorus]
Fmaj7                         G
     Things are better in the East, they say

Fmaj7                   G
     For a poet and his fevers

Fmaj7                      G
   A fellow with all those fancy words,

Fmaj7                  G
His heartbreak and his favors
[Verse 2]
Amaj7                      E7sus
I feel like a little white kitten reborn

    Amaj7                    Gmaj7
I’m very fond of fog, but my sight is torn

Amaj7                             E7sus
I’d like to remember it just like this if I can :

    Amaj7                  Gmaj7
The rain, the fog, and the kiss you send

           G6                             Aadd9       
You know I love you, just like you always wanted
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                             G
     I could protect you from the bells in the city

Fmaj7                             G
     I was raised with forget-me-nots in my hair

Fmaj7                                 G
     Even if it ain’t true, won’t you please take me with you ?

Fmaj7                        G
     You’ve got moon on your side over there
[Versend]
Amaj7           E7sus
Hey, Lady Swan. Whatcha doin' here ?

Amaj7                             Gmaj7
How am I gonna write if you don’t live anywhere ?

Amaj7                                  E7sus
Just caught a flash of lightning as it photographed the sky

          G6              Aadd9 
You don’t mind. Oh my. Oh my.
