Intro:
F#F# G# minorG#m E MajorE
Verse 1:
F#F#
I call them late night wishes
G# minorG#m
self confidence for hire
E MajorE
Like my red wine mistress
E MajorE
my maiden of desire
F#F# G# minorG#m
who keeps staring at the stars at night
E MajorE
And guessing which of the above are staring back into the light
Verse 2:
F#F#
I call them acts of kindness
G# minorG#m E MajorE
to lie there in the grass 'till I'm completely blinded
E MajorE
And hope that she will ask
F#F# G# minorG#m
About the constellations of the signs
E MajorE F#F#
but she's too eager to observe that there's a sparkle in my eyes
G# minorG#m E MajorE
In my eyes
Chorus:
G# minorG#m
Julia
BB E MajorE
Sing on the top of your lungs until you get out of line
G# minorG#m
Julia
BB E MajorE
Drink until the morning comes or we run out of wine
BB F#F#
I still remember you the way that we met
C# minorC#m E MajorE
slowly sucking on your cigarette
BB F#F#
I really wish that we could go back there
C# minorC#m F#F#
to that mysterious smile - and your long blond hair
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Verse 3:
F#F#
She calls them flights of fancy
G# minorG#m
I always seem to miss it
E MajorE
when we go out dancing
E MajorE
and make it quite explicit
F#F# G# minorG#m
Without confidence she tries
E MajorE F#F#
To explain the thing she's come to call the sparkle in my eyes
G# minorG#m E MajorE
In my eyes
Chorus:
G# minorG#m

slowly sucking on your cigarette

I really wish that we could go back there
C# minorC#m
to that mysterious smile
Bridge:
E MajorE
You made a classical mistake love
G# minorG#m
Never change your melody
C#5C#5 E MajorE
You made a classical mistake love
G# minorG#m F#F#
Never rely on that poor excuse of a blur
E MajorE
that you call your memory
F#F#
Oh please
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Verse 4:

my maiden of desire

I still remember when you first said:
C# minorC#m E MajorE
you're the chamber you hope for playing Russian roulette
G# minorG#m BB
I still remember thinking you were a sign
E MajorE C#5C#5 B5B5 E MajorE
but the truth of it was we only needed more wine
