Chords

[Intro] Em [Verse 1] Well, I'll be damned
                C
Here comes your ghost again

                 G
But that's not unusual

                   D
It's just that the moon is full

                    Em
And you happened to call
[Verse 2] And here I sit
            C
Hand on the telephone

          G
Hearing a voice I'd known

            D
A couple of light years ago

                Em
Heading straight for a fall
[Verse 3] As I remember your eyes
                C
Were bluer than robin's eggs

              G
My poetry was lousy, you said

               D
"Where are you calling from?"

                Em
"A booth in the Midwest"
[Verse 4] Four years ago
                  C
I bought you some cufflinks

               G
You brought me something

                  D
We both know what memories can bring

                        Em
They bring diamonds and rust
[Verse 5] Well, you burst on the scene
          C
Already a legend

            G
The unwashed phenomenon

             D
The original vagabond

                    Em
You strayed into my arms
[Verse 6] And there you stayed
            C
Temporarily lost at sea

                G
The Madonna was yours for free

                     D
Yes, the girl on the half-shell

                 Em
Could keep you unharmed
[Bridge]
      Bm
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling around

    D
And snow in your hair

           Bm
Now you're smiling out the window

                          D
Of that crummy hotel over Washington Square

    C
Our breath comes out white clouds

                         G
Mingles and hangs in the air

         F
Speaking strictly for me

                       G             B7  Em
We both could have died then and there_____
[Verse 7] Now you're telling me
              C
You're not nostalgic

                     G
Then give me another word for it

               D
You who are so good with words

                      Em
And at keeping things vague
[Verse 8] 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
                C
It's all coming back too clearly

             G
Yes, I once loved you dearly

                          D
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust

             Em
I've already paid___
