[Em]The perfume that she [D]wore was from [Am]some little [Bm]store on the [C]down side of [D]town.
[Em]But it lingered o[D]n long [Am]after she?d g[Bm]one, I r[C]emember it [D]well.
And our [G]fingers e[D]ntwined like r[C]ibbons of l[D]ight,
[G]And we came through a [Em]doorway some[Am]where i[F]n the n[D]ight.
[Em]Her long flowing h[D]air came [Am]softly [Bm]undone in a p[C]ile all aroun[D]d.
[Em]And she brushed i[D]t down as I s[Am]tood by her s[Bm]ide in the warm[C]th of her l[D]ove.
And she [G]showed me her [D]treasures of p[C]aper and ti[D]n,
[G]And we played a [Em]game only[Am] she could w[F]in. [D]
And she [G]told me a[D] riddle I?ll n[C]ever forget[D]
[G]And left with the answ[Em]er I've [Am]never f[F]ound ye[D]t.
[Em]How long,said sh[D]e, Can a momen[Am]t li[Bm]ke th[C]is belong to s[D]omeone
[Em]Whats wrong, what is rig[D]ht? Fo[Am]r to li[Bm]ve or to di[D]e,
[G]We a[D]ll mu[C]st be bo[D]rn.
So, if y[G]ou should[D] ask me what s[C]ecrets I hi[D]de,
[G]I’m only your l[Em]over, don’t [Am]make [F]me deci[D]de!
