[Verse 1]
Em            Emadd9      Em      C
Well I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
               G      G Gadd11 G
But that's not unusual
                   D
It's just that the moon is full
                    Em  Emadd9
And you decided to call
 
Em          Emadd9      Em      C
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
               G      G Gadd11 G
Hearing the voice I'd known
                   D
A couple of light years ago
                        Em  Emadd9
Heading straight for a fall
 
Em  Emadd9
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em            Emadd9          Em             C
As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs
                      G      G Gadd11 G
My poetry was lousy you said
                  D
Where are you calling from?
                  Em  Emadd9
A booth in the midwest
 
Em            Emadd9          Em             C
Ten years ago, I bought you some cufflinks
                   G      G Gadd11 G
You brought me something
                     D
We both know what memories can bring
                        Em  Emadd9
They bring diamonds and rust

[Verse 3]
Em            Emadd9          Em             C
Well, you burst on the scene, Already a legend
                 G      G Gadd11 G
The unwashed phenomenon
                D
The original vagabond
                    Em  Emadd9
You strayed into my arms
 
Em            Emadd9          Em             C
And there you stayed, Temporarily lost at sea
                         G      G Gadd11 G
The Madonna was yours for free
                     D
Yes, the girl on the half-shell
                   Em  Emadd9
Could keep you unharmed
 
Em  Emadd9
 
 
[Chorus]
      Bm7                                                                    Am
Now I see you standing with brown leaves falling all around, And snow in your hair
      Bm7                                                             Am
Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel, Over Washington Square
       C                                                 G
Our breath comes on white clouds, Mingles and hangs in the air
         F
Speaking strictly for me
                                G      B7
We both could've died then and there

[Verse 4]
Em            Emadd9         Em      C
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
                           G      G Gadd11 G
Then give me another word for it
                      D
You were so good with words
                       Em    Emadd9
And at keeping things vague
 
 
[Outro]
Em                         Emadd9                 Em           C
Cause I need some of that vagueness now,It's all come back too clearly
                  G      G Gadd11 G
Yes, I love you dearly
                           D
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
              Em    Emadd9
I've already paid
 
Em  Emadd9
Em  Emadd9
Em  Emadd9
Em  Emadd9
          Fade....
