Intro:
F/A Bb F C/G C D
F/A Bb F C/G C D
A D/A A It's a case I guess of paradise lost
G Bm/F# Ten years back on the hands of the clock
C G In that little house on Mansfield
D On your old block
F#m G D Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got Just you and me at a crossroads then Ain't it funny how we were old friends Accidentally thrown together Did we intend
Continues after the ad
To be the romantic novel you never want to end
G/B C And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room
G D And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune
G/B C D You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life
F/A Bb F C/G C D And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight'
Eb Bb/D Cm7 Bb In between the Star of David and the California moon
Eb Bb/D F The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room
Eb Bb/D We were crazy, wild and running
Cm7 Bb Blind to the change to come
Cm7 D7 In that little house on Mansfield
Gsus4 Gm Eb Bb F We'd wake at the break of dawn
Gsus4 Gm Eb F G In an Indian summer gone In the candlelight I can recall Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall Like a wild pony dancing Along the wall Off balance I found love the only place to fall
Gsus4 Gm Eb Bb F We'd wake at the break of dawn
Gsus4 Gm Eb F G In an Indian summer gone
