| Em7 Am Em7 ‑ | |
| Em D Am Bm | The perfume that she wore was from some little store |
| Cmaj7 D ‑ | On the down side of town |
| Em D Am Bm | But it lingered on long after she'd gone |
| Cmaj7 D ‑ | I remember it well |
| G D C D | And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light |
| G Em Am F D | And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night |
| Em D Am Bm | Her long flowing hair came softly undone |
| Cmaj7 D ‑ | And it lay all around |
| Em D Am Bm | And she brushed it down as I stood by her side |
| Cmaj7 D ‑ | In the warmth of her love |
| G D C D | And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin |
| G Em Am F D | And we played a game only she could win |
| G D C D | And she told me a riddle I'll never forget |
| G Em Am F D | Then left with the answer I've never found yet |
| Em D Am Bm | How long, said she, can a moment like this |
| Cmaj7 D ‑ | Belong to someone |
| Em D Am Bm | What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die |
| Cmaj7 D ‑ | We must almost be born |
| G D C D | So if you should ask me what secrets I hide |
| G Em Am F D | I'm only your lover, don't make me decide |
| Em D Am Bm | The perfume that she wore was from some little store |

| Em D Am Bm | But it lingered on long after she'd gone |
| Cmaj7 D ‑ | I remember it well |
| G D C D | And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin |
| G Em Am F D | And we played a game only she could win |
| G D C D | And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light |
| G Em Am F D | And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night... |
