🎸 Verse 1:
   D MajorD
I was wondering through the streets of the city
                E minorEm  A augmentedA
Rambling through the avenues of time
     D MajorD                                 E minorEm  A augmentedA
When from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl, and by chance her eyes fell onto mine
   D MajorD
So I sat and I acted all nonchalant
              E minorEm   A augmentedA
She smoked her lavender cigarette
D MajorD                                  E minorEm
Reading the future that lay in my hands, as my shadow played a bass clarinet

🎸 Verse 2:
         D MajorD
We waltzed down a molded boulevard
              E minorEm   A augmentedA
Just two silhouettes in thе mist
D MajorD
Days went by and years wеnt by
            E minorEm    A augmentedA
Moments went by when we kissed
        D MajorD
She said "your beard is woven of heartache"
                 E minorEm   A augmentedA
And we'll drink for the lonely tonight
    D MajorD
And the moon is a horny old drunkard
                      E minorEm
Uh Bret, could you please move over to your right?


🎸 Verse 2:
     D MajorD                                  E minorEm  A augmentedA
We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced about the moment we first met that day

I'm trying to watch TV
    D MajorD
Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced
          E minorEm  A augmentedA
Oh ya? Sounds a bit gay
  D MajorD
She handed me a broken memory
              E minorEm   A augmentedA
A majorA keepsake to forever more save
    D MajorD
That a brief taste of love is as sweet as any
         G+G    D MajorD
And with that she made her way

🎸 Interlude:
No chords.


🎸 Verse 2:
  D MajorD
She said her name was a secret
               E minorEm   A augmentedA
Then she said her name was Cherise
D MajorD
Is her middle name Cherise?

So it's a secret Cherise? Maybe?
  E minorEm
Hmm maybe
      A augmentedA
What'd she look like?
  D MajorD
She looked like a Parisian river

What, dirty?
               E minorEm
She looked like a chocolate eclair
    A augmentedA
That's weird
  D MajorD
Her eyes were reflections of eyes

Oh no
                E minorEm
And the rainbows danced in her hair
  A augmentedA
Oh ya
   D MajorD
She reminded me of a winter's morning

Oh frigid?
             E minorEm
Her perfume was eau de toilette
     A augmentedA
What does that mean?
    D MajorD
She was comparable to Cleopatra

Quite old?
               E minorEm
She was like Shakespeare's Juilet
   D MajorD
What 13?
   D MajorD                                   E minorEm    A augmentedA
The bohemians of Soho did pirouettes as we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan
  D MajorD          G+G
The rivers of ribbon and sails of sock
                E minorEm
Bret, did any of this actually happen?
  D MajorD
The girl I described, she's as real as the wind
   G+G         E minorEm  A augmentedA
It's true, I saw her today
  D MajorD
The other details are inventions
    G+G         D MajorD
Because I prefer her that way
