[Intro]

Amaj7  Gmaj7  x3


[Verse 1]

Amaj7                         Gmaj7
     You once asked me what I wanted out of life
Amaj7                            E7sus
     Well, I guess it’s just the life of laughter and smiles,
   E7sus
To be Cinderella-man for a while
            Amaj7           Gmaj7
But there’s so many miles I got to go
Dmaj7                          E7sus
      You once asked me what I wanted out of life
Amaj7                            E7sus
     Well, I guess it’s just the white, white of a light when you love me all night
            Amaj7                     Gmaj7
But this is brightness so dazzling my head must turn
Gmaj7                        Amaj7
     You know my head must turn

[Midtro]

G  A  x2


[Chorus]

Fmaj7                         G
     Things are better in the East, they say
Fmaj7                   G
     For a poet and his fevers
Fmaj7                      G
   A fellow with all those fancy words,
Fmaj7                  G
His heartbreak and his favors

[Verse 2]

Amaj7                      E7sus
I feel like a little white kitten reborn
    Amaj7                    Gmaj7
I’m very fond of fog, but my sight is torn
Amaj7                             E7sus
I’d like to remember it just like this if I can :
    Amaj7                  Gmaj7
The rain, the fog, and the kiss you send
           G6                             Aadd9
You know I love you, just like you always wanted

[Chorus]

Fmaj7                             G
     I could protect you from the bells in the city
Fmaj7                             G
     I was raised with forget-me-nots in my hair
Fmaj7                                 G
     Even if it ain’t true, won’t you please take me with you ?
Fmaj7                        G
     You’ve got moon on your side over there


[Versend]

Amaj7           E7sus
Hey, Lady Swan. Whatcha doin' here ?
Amaj7                             Gmaj7
How am I gonna write if you don’t live anywhere ?
Amaj7                                  E7sus
Just caught a flash of lightning as it photographed the sky
          G6              Aadd9
You don’t mind. Oh my. Oh my.
