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.
