[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The perfume that she [D]wore[Dsus4]
[D]was fro[Am]m some little sto[Bm]re[C]
On the down side [Dsus4]of town
[D]But [Em]it lingered on[D] long
[Am]after she'd [Bm]gone[C]
I remember it [Dsus4]well[D]

[Verse 2]
And [G]our fingers [D]entwined
like ribbons [C]of [D]light
And [G]we [C]came [Em]thro[F]ugh a doorway
somewhere in the night
[D]

[Verse 3]
Her [Em]long flowing [D]hair
came [Am]softly undone
[Bm]And [G]it l[C]ay all around[Dsus4][D]
And [Em]she brushed [D]it down as I
[Am]stood by [Bm]her side[C]
In the warmth of her love
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[D]And she showed [C]me her
treasures of paper [D]and tin
And we played [G]a game only
[Em]she could [Am]win[F][D]
And [G]she told me a [D]riddle
I'll [C]never for[D]get
Then left [G]with the [Em]answer I've
[F]never found yet
[D]

[Verse 5]
"How [Em]long", said [D]she,
"Can a [Am]mo ment like th[Bm]is b[C]elong to someo[Dsus4]ne?"[D]
What's [Em]wrong? What is [D]right?
When to [Am]live or to [Bm]die,
[C]we must almost be born
[D]

[Verse 6]
So [G]if you should [D]ask me
what [C]secrets I [D]hide
I'm [G]only your [Em]lover,
don't [F]make me decide
[D]

[Verse 7]
The per[Em]fume that she [D]wore[Dsus4]
was [Am]from some little [Bm]store[C]
On the down [Dsus4]side of town
[D]But it [Em]lingered on l[D]ong afte[Am]r
she'd [Bm]gone[C]
I remember [Dsus4]it well[D]

[Verse 8]
And she [G]showed me her
[D]treasures of [C]paper [D]and tin
And [G]we played [Em]a game only
[Am]she could [F]win[D]
And our [G]fingers [D]entwined
like [C]ribbons of [D]light
And we [G]came through [Em]a doorway some
[F]where in the night

[Outro 1]
[F][D][Em][Am][Em]
