F#m7add4             C#7             F#m7add4
Better not tell her, that I was your lover

Better not make her jealous of me

Better convince her there was nothing between us

I'm not those initials in your diary

   Pre Chorus:
       D                    D/E
But if you slip and my name comes up
      D             Esus4 E
Don't deny that you knew  me


   Chorus:
     G                          Gsus4  G
Just leave out the white nights
    D
The moon in your window
    G                    Gsus4  G
The break in your whisper
    D            G   Gsus4   G   D
The promises after


   Verse 2:
F#m7add4            C#7                  F#m7add4
Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
                         C#7                       F#m7add4
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid
                   C#7               F#m7add4
Let it all go now
Like smoke from a candle
                         C#7                  F#m7
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind


   Pre Chorus:
       D                    D/E
But if you slip and my name comes up
      D             Esus4 E
Don't deny that you knew  me


   Chorus:
     G                          Gsus4  G
Just leave out the white nights
    D
The moon in your window
    G                    Gsus4  G
The break in your whisper
    D            G   Gsus4   G   D
The promises after


   Bridge:
G                                   Gsus4  G
Leave out the tears and the laughter
    D
She won't need to know
     G                    Gsus4   G
That I cried when you left
     D               G    Gsus4   G
That I think of you still

That I still  love  you

     G                          Gsus4  G
Just leave out the white nights
    D
The moon in your window
G                         Gsus4  G
Leave out the white nights
