Em D Am Bm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
C D
On the down side of town
Em D Am Bm
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
C D
I remember it well
G D C D
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
G Em Am F D
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
Em D Am Bm
Her long flowing hair came softly undone
C D
And it lay all around
Em D Am Bm
And she brushed it down as I stood by her side
C D
In the warmth of her love
G D C D
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
G Em Am F D
And then we played a game only she could win
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
Em D Am Bm
How long, said she, can a moment like this
C D
Belong to someone
Em D Am Bm
What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die
C 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
I'm only your lover, don't make me decide
Em D Am Bm
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
C D
On the down side of town
Em D Am Bm
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
C D
I remember it well
G D C D
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
G Em Am F
And then 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 G
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
