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