[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___
