Better not tell her [C#] that I was [F#m] your lover Better not make her [C#]
jealous [F#m] of me
Better convince her [C#] there was nothing [F#m] between us
[C#m] I'm not those [F#m] initials in your [C#] diary [F#m] But [D] if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew [A] me [G] Just leave out the white nights
[D] The moon in your window [G] The break in your whisper
The [D]
promises after
[G]
Better [D]
[F#m]
not tell her [C#] why you love Spanish [F#m] dancing
Don't bother to say that it's [C#] hot in the summer [G#] in Madrid
[F#m] Let it all blow down [C#m] like smoke from [F#m] a candle
Like the trace of a song [C#] that you hear in the [F#m] wind

Don't deny that you once knew me
