You call me "Your Highness."
    Bbm7       Eb
But When I get Blue
      Bbm7       Eb
I can never find you
    Fm7          Bb7
The circle keeps turning

The sky is still burning

I hear from my ex-
       Bbm7       Eb7
On the back of my checks

Chorus:

    Dbmaj7
But hold me awhile
         Abmaj7
And I'll hang up my guns, mama

I know I've been flyin'
Abmaj7
Too near the sun

We'll move to the mountains

Verse 2:

     Fm7           Bb7
This cloverleaf madness
     Fm7           Bb7
Just fills me with sadness
   Bbm7                Eb7
We glide on these streams
     Bbm7              Eb7
Just postponing our dreams
    Fm7           Bb7
The love that's inside us
       Fm7          Bb7
How come it divides us?
            Bbm7        Eb
It just ain't like Cole Porter
          Bbm7          Eb
It's just all too short order

Chorus:

    Dbmaj7
But hold me awhile
         Abmaj7
And I'll hang up my guns, mama
  Dbmaj7
I know I've been flyin'
Abmaj7
Too near the sun
      Bmaj7
We'll move to the mountains
         Gbmaj7            Bb
And make love to keep warm,mama
     Bmaj7
Like two little birds
       Gbmaj7
In the eye of the storm
       Cm7        F7
In the eye of the storm
