Intro:
Fm Fm2 Fm
Fm Fm2 Fm
Fm Fm2 Fm
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
Fm Fm2 Fm
And you happened to call
Fm Fm2 Fm
And here I sit
C#
Hand on the telephone
G#
Hearing a voice I'd known
D#
A couple of light years ago
Fm Fm2 Fm
Heading straight for a fall
Fm Fm Fm2 Fm
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?
Fm Fm2 Fm
A booth in the Midwest
Fm Fm Fm2 Fm
Ten years ago
C#
I bought you some cufflinks
G#
You brought me something
D#
We both know what memories can bring
Fm Fm2 Fm
They bring diamonds and rust
Fm Fm2 Fm
Well you burst on the scene
C#
Already a legend
G#
The unwashed phenomenon
D#
The original vagabond
Fm Fm2 Fm
You strayed into my arms
Fm Fm2 Fm
And there you stayed
C#
Temporarily lost at sea
G#
The Madonna was yours for free
D#
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Fm Fm2 Fm
Would keep you unharmed
Cm
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
A#m
And snow in your hair
Cm
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
A#m
Over Washington Square
C#
Our breath comes out white clouds
G#
Mingles and hangs in the air
F#maj7
Speaking strictly for me
G# C7
We both could have died then and there
Fm Fm2 Fm
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
Fm Fm2 Fm
And at keeping things vague
Fm Fm2 Fm
Because I need some of that vagueness now
C#
It's all come back too clearly
G#
Yes I loved you dearly
D#
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
Fm Fm2 Fm
I've already paid
