Verse 1:

Em7 D Am Bm The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the Cmaj7 D down side of town Em7 D Am Bm And it lingered on long after she'd gone Cmaj7 D I remember it well G D C D And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin G Em Am F D And we played a game only she could win

Verse 2:

Em7 D Am Bm Her long flowing hair came softly undone Cmaj7 D And it lay all around Em7 D Am Bm And she brushed it down as I stood by her side Cmaj7 D In the warmth of her love G D C D And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light G Em Am F D And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night G D C D And she told me a riddle I'll never forget G Em Am F D Then left with the answer I've never found yet

Verse 3:

Em7 D Am Bm How long, said she, can a moment like this Cmaj7 D Belong to someone? Em7 D Am Bm What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die Cmaj7 D We must almost be born? G D C D So if you should ask me what secrets I hide G Em Am F D That I'm only your lover, don't make me decide

Verse 4:

Em7 D Am Bm The perfume that she wore was from some little store on the Cmaj7 D down side of town Em7 D Am Bm And it lingered on long after she'd gone Cmaj7 D I remember it well G D C D And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin G Em Am F D And we played a game only she could win G D C D And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light G Em Am F D And we came through the doorway somewhere in the night
