  Em         Baug      Em7   Baug
I longed for you since I was born;
  Em    Baug  Em7      Baug      D7sus    D7   D7sus  D7, B7
A woman sensi-tive and warm, and that you were.

     Em        Baug        Em7       Baug
With pride and strength no one would test,
    Em       Baug Em7     Baug       D7sus   D7   D7sus  D7, B7
But yet have femi-nine fi-nesse, and so much more.

Chorus 1:

            Cmaj7
You took me riding in your rocket; gave me a star.
But at a half a mile from Heaven,
                                 Bm7b5            B7sus  E7
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world.

You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world.

Verse 2:

  Em     Baug        Em7     Baug
A female Shakespeare of your time,
     Em       Baug    Em7     Baug      D7sus    D7   D7sus  D7, B7
With looks to blow Pi-casso's mind; you were the best.

     Em   Baug       Em7       Baug
Your body moved with grace and song,
     Em     Baug    Em7     Baug    D7sus    D7   D7sus  D7, B7
Like sympho-nies by Bach or Brahms, neverthe-less.            Oh, oh;

Chorus 2:

You took me riding in your rocket; gave me a star.

You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world.

      Fm          Caug      Fm7    Caug   D#7sus       D#7  D#7sus  D#7, C7
Would make hell's fire seem like a spark; where did it go?

     Fm       Caug      Fm7  Caug
Just why that you would over-night,
     Fm      Caug     Fm7  Caug         D#7sus D#7  D#7sus  D#7, C7
Turn love to stone as cold as ice, I'll never  know.
