A 

 

I re

D 

call how we  

F#m 

lived

 

On the  

Am 

corner of a

Am7 

bed

 

And we’d  

C 

speak of a Swedish room

G 

 

Of hessian and  

Eb 

wood

 

And we’d  

D 

talk with our  

F#m 

eyes

 

Of the  

Am 

sweetness in our

Am7 

lives

 

And to

C 

morrows of rich surprise

G 

 

Some things we could  

Eb 

do

F 

A 

 

C 

In our madness we burnt one hundred days

 

And I still hold some ashes  

Eb 

to 

 

me

dream

 

 

Bm 

 

Em 

 

A 

 

And we’d  

D 

sleep, oh so  

F#m 

close

 

But not  

Am 

really close our

Am7 

eyes

 

‘Tween the  

C 

sheets of summer bathed in blue

G 

 

Gently weeping  

Eb 

nights

 

It was  

D 

long, 

 

 

F#m 

long 

 

ago

 

And I  

Am 

still can’t touch your

Am7 

name

 

For the  

C 

days of fate were strong for you

G 

 

Danced you far from  

Eb 

me

F 

A 

 

C 

In my madness I see your face in mine
