Lyrics

A cig a (Cm7)rette that bears a (Bb7)lip stick’s trac es,

an air line (Cm7)tick et to ro (Bb7)man tic plac es;

and still my (Eb7)heart has wings,

(G7)these fool (C7)ish (F7)things

re mind me of (Bb7)you.

A tink ling (Cm7)pia no in the (Bb7)next a part ment,

those stumb ling (Cm7)words that told you (Bb7)what my heart meant,

a fair ground’s paint ed (C7)swings,

these fool ish (Bb7)things re mind me of (Eb)you.

You (Em7)came,

you (D7)saw,

you (Gm)con (Bb)quered (F7)me;

when you did (F7)that to me,

I (Edim7)knew some how this (Bb7)had to be.

The winds of (Cm7)March that make my (Bb7)heart a dan cer,

a tel e (Cm7)phone that rings, but (Bb7)who’s to an swer?

Oh, how the (Eb7)ghost of you (Abmaj7)clings,

(Db7)these fool (C7)ish (F7)things

re (Bb7)mind me of (Eb)you.
