[Am] [G]
[B] [Em]
What I'll be then, here [C] comes your ghost again, but [Am] that's not [G] unusual, it's just [D] that the
moon is full and you [Em] haven't been home.
And here I sit, and [C] I'm on the telephone, [Am] hearing
[G] a voice that I've known a couple of [D] light years ago, and it's strange [Em] for a soul.
As
I remember your eyes were blue [C] and robin's head.
[Am] My [G] poetry was lousy, you said.
Where
[D] are you calling from?
The booth [Em] in the future.
Ten years ago I bought [C] you some coffee, [Am] you
[G] brought me something.
We both know [D] what memories can break, even diamonds.
[Em]
[Am] [Em]
[B] [Em]
Were you burst
on the scene already?
[C] And let out the [Am] [G] unwashed and rubbing on.
The original [D] vagabond is trading
[Em]
tonight.
And there you stay, too poor and weary, [C] lost at sea.
The [Am] Madonna [G] was yours
for free.
Yes, the [D] girl on the couch, yeah, will keep you [Em] warm.
[B] Now I [Bm] see you standing
with brown lips, floating all around, [A] snowing your hair.
Now you're [Bm] smiling at the window
of the crummy hotel on the [A] Washington Square.
[C] Our breath comes like white clouds, mingles
in [G] hands, and yeah.
[C] Speak it strictly for me, we both could [F] have [G] died then and there.
[B] [D] [G] [D]
[G] [D]
[B] [Em]
Now you're telling me you're not [C] the star jet, then [Am] give me [G] all the words for it.
You
who [D] was so good with words, and at keeping [Em] things real.
Cause I need something like this
now, it'll come [C] back to clearly.
Yes, I [G] loved you dearly, and if you want [D] me to move down
the halls and walls, I've [Em] already paid.
