[Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ While [Am] my [C] lover [F] was sleeping _ on [C] the other side [F] of the world
_ [Am] I _ found myself out drinking _ in the evening _ [C] air so [F] cold _
_ _ _ _ Cigarette smoke and [C] _
conversation, _ _ _ _ distant laughter [F] and red wine _
Other _ _ people's _ [C] condensation [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ drifting [F] through my _ _ mind _ _
_ _ [C] After a while [Am] I [F] held the taxi _ _ [C] to [Am] escape from the [F] cold _ _ _
[C] Said take me [Am] somewhere I can drink whiskey _ and watch this [C] [F] world unfold
_ _ _ _ Driver [Am] looks over his [G] shoulder, _ _ _ _
[C] _ said would you [F] believe _ me
_ If I tell you [C] a secret
_ _ [G] _ Once while driving through [F] these streets
_ I _ seen the spirit [Am] of many
_ She _ _ _ _ danced with me [C] in the snow
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] From four o'clock in the [Am] morning
_ Till the dawn _ let her [C] go
Seen the spirit [F] of many _
_ _ _ _ She [Am] danced with me in the snow
_ When _ _ _ [C] she lay down she stretched from the great _ lakes
To [F] the Gulf of [G] Mexico
_ I _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] sat [Am] there in silence [F] on the back seat _
[Am] And the neon _ [C] arcades [F] flew by
_ _ [Am] _ Sometimes in his rear view mirror
_ _ I _ caught his [C] where [F] did I _ _ _
_ _ Seen the [Am] spirit of many _
_ She _ _ _ danced [C] with me in the snow _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] From _ four o'clock in the morning
[Am] Till the dawn let her [C] go
Seen the spirit [F] of many
_ _ _ _ She was so [Am] playful and wild _
_ _ _ _ To [C] us she is wise and ancient
But to [F] the universe _ [G] she _ is just [A] a child
I _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] paid [Am] the money on the meter _
_ And the taxi drove [C]
[F] into the [Am] night
_ I _ fell through the [C] bottom [F] of a bottle
[Am] _ _ _
And tried to avoid [C] [F] a fight _
_ _ _ _ _ Walking [C] back through the silent [G] streets
_ Through _ the eye of a [F] _ snowstorm _
Stop _ _ _ sign [C] on the [G] corner
_ Ten _ _ _ _ [F] minutes passed before
I _ _ seen the spirit [Am] of many _ _
She _ _ _ danced with [C] me in the snow
_ Well _ _ _ _ [F] it felt like she had the [Am] _ answers
To a question that we can [G] never know
The spirit [F] of many _ _ _ _ _
She [Am] danced with me in the snow
Just _ _ _ _ [G] _
before she _ [C] disappeared _ _
I [F] was sure that I could [C] _
[G] fly _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] But soon I was staring [F] at the window
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Sweat still dripping down [F] my brow _ _
_ [Am] I fell [G] asleep [F] _
thinking
_ How [C] my lover's [Em] just waking up [Am] now
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
