[Gm] [Fm]
[F] [C]
[Fm]
Well, I'll be damned, [Db] here comes your ghost again.
[Ab] But that's not unusual, it's just that [Eb] the moon is full, and [Fm] you happen to call.
And here I sit, [Ab] and [Db] on the telephone, hearing [Ab] a voice I'd known
a couple [Eb] of light years ago, heading straight [Fm] for a fall.
As I remember, your eyes were bluer [Db] than robin's eggs.
[Bbm] My poetry [Ab] was lousy, you said.
Where [Eb] were you calling from?
A [Fm] booth in the Midwest.
Ten years ago, I [Db] bought you some cufflinks.
You [Ab] brought me something.
We [Eb] both know what memories can bring.
They bring diamonds [Fm] and rust.
[Fm]
[C] [Fm]
You burst on the scene, already a legend.
[Db] The [Ab] unwashed phenomenon, the original [Eb] vagabond.
You strayed into my arms.
And there you stayed, temporarily [Db] lost at sea.
The Madonna [Ab] was yours for free.
Yes, the girl [Eb] on the half-shell could keep you [Fm] unharmed.
Now [Cm] I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around and [Bbm] snow in your hair.
Now [Cm] you're smiling out the window, dead crummy hotel over Washington [Bbm] Square.
[Db] Our breath comes out, white clouds mingles and hangs [Ab] in the air.
[Gb] Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died [Ab] then and there.
[C]
[Fm]
Now you're telling me [Db] you're not nostalgic.
Then [Ab] give me another word for it.
[Eb] You're so good with words, and at [Fm] keeping things vague.
Cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all [Db] come back to clearly.
Yes, [Ab] I love you dearly.
And if [Eb] you're offering me diamonds and rust, [Fm] I've already paid.
