G                          C
I came in from the outside
G
Burnt out from the joy ride
Bm7                           C
She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway
G                       C
Played from the bedside
G                     C
Is "Stella By Starlight"
Bm7
"That Was My Heart"
                 C
The drums that start off "Night And Day"

Em7              E7sus2  C          G
The same kind of music haunts her bedroom
Em7       E7sus2      C
I'm almost me again, she's almost you

Em7  D      C         G
I wouldn't know where to start
Em7    D       C     G
"Sweet Music" playing "In The Dark"

Em7   D       C     G
Be still "My Foolish Heart"
 G     Bm7   C     G
Don't ruin this on me

Be still "My Foolish Heart,"
 G     Bm7   C     G
Don't ruin this on me

 G                                 C
Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them
 G
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
     Bm7                               C
Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft
                             G
As Chet can sing "Let's Get Lost"
                            C
And "Let The Good Times Roll"
      G
Let "Smoke Rings" from this "Paper, Doll"
      Bm7
Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of

"It Don't Mean A Thing"

Em7           E7sus2       C              G
I've got some colour back, she thinks so, too
Em7          E7sus2     C
I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

Em7  D      C         G
I wouldn't know where to start

            G                              C
"The Very Thought Of You" and "Am I Blue"?
    G
"A Love Supreme" seems far removed
        Bm7                    C
"I Get Along Without You Very Well," some other nights
      G                       C
The radio news reader chimes
    G
Reporting "Russian Lullabies"
               Bm7                      C          G
She'll turn to me awake and ask, Is everything "Alright"
