Chords with lyrics
*play something like [32003X] [XXX010] and resolve on the G+G to mimic the keyboard's
descending pattern (or don't, if you prefer not to)
FF
When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine
FF
I leave the party behind
FF
To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind
A augmentedA
Through this cold night but there she stands
A minorAm
And she walks like you
A minorAm
And she smiles almost like you
G+G *
A augmentedA child of the wild just like you
FF
For a second I think I get a glimpse
FF
Of the real her, behind
FF
She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes
A augmentedA
But just this moment a change so sublime
C majorC
If she looked me deep into my eyes
Bb majorBb
And softly asked me to
C majorC
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
Bb majorBb
And waste a life I knew
C majorC
So I hold my breath and close my eyes
Bb majorBb
And focus on the wine
C majorC
Let this trembling moment pass us by
DmDm
So I could say goodnight
FF
But then, on impulse I almost touched her face
FF
Before I pulled back my hand
FF
And we get nervous we laugh and she spills her wine
FF
Both so awkward, for what's on our mind
A minorAm
And she talks like you
A minorAm
And she smells almost like you
G+G *
A augmentedA child of the wild just like you
A minorAm
But she's not all you
A minorAm
Even strives not to be you
G+G *
Just like every sister would do
DmDm
And perhaps it's the wine
DmDm
Or that you're in her eyes
G+G *
But I want her this one single time
Just this one time
C majorC
If she looked me deep into my eyes
Bb majorBb
And softly asked me too
C majorC
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
Bb majorBb
And waste a life I knew
C majorC
So I hold my breath and close my eyes
Bb majorBb
And focus on the wine
C majorC
Let this trembling moment pass us by
Bb majorBb
So I could say goodnight
C majorC
And if I'd looked into her eyes
Bb majorBb
And softly asked her too
C majorC
She would give herself and give her flesh
Bb majorBb
And waste a life she knew
C majorC
So we hold our breath, and close our eyes
Bb majorBb
And take a sip of wine
C majorC
But this thirst has emptied every glass
Bb majorBb
And we should say goodnight
