Intro: Em Verse: Em Well, Iʼll be damned C Here comes your ghost again G But thatʼs not unusual D Itʼs just that the moon is full Em And you happened to call Em And here I sit C My hand on the telephone G Hearing a voice Iʼd known D А couple of light years ago Em Heading straight for a fall Em As I remember your eyes C Were bluer than robinʼs eggs G My poetry was lousy you said D Where are you calling from? Em А booth in the Midwest Em Ten years ago C I bought you some cufflinks G Oh, and you brought me something D We both know what memories can bring Em They bring diamonds and rust Em C G D Verse: Em Well, you burst on the scene C Already a legend G The unwashed phenomenon D The original vagabond Em You strayed into my arms Em And there you stayed C Temporarily lost at sea G The Madonna was yours for free D Yes, the girl on the half-shell Em Could keep you unharmed Bridge: Bm Am Now I see you standing with leaves falling around and snow in your hair Bm Am Now youʼre smiling out the window of that hotel over Washington Square C G Our breath comes out white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Am G Bm Speaking strictly for me, we both could have died then and there Verse: Em Now youʼre telling me C Youʼre not nostalgic G Well, then give me another word for it D You were always so good with words Em And at keeping things vague Em ʼCause I need some of that vagueness now C Itʼs all come back too clearly G Oh, I loved you dearly D If youʼre offering me diamonds and rust Em C G D Iʼve already paid Em C G D Diamonds and rust Em C G D Diamonds and rust Em C G D Diamonds and rust
