Well I'll be there, _ here comes [Db] your ghost again, _ _ but that's [Ab] not unusual, _ _ _ _ it's just that
[Eb] the moon is full, _ _ and you [Fm] happen to _ call. _ _ _ _ _
And here I sit, hand on [Db] the telephone, _ _ _ _ hearing [Ab] a voice I'd known _ a couple [Eb] of light years ago,
_ heading straight [Fm] for a phone. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As I remember your eyes were bluer [Db] than robin's eggs, _ _
my [Ab] poetry was lousy, you said, _ where are [Eb] you calling _ _ _ from?
A booth in [Fm] the Midwest.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ten years ago, _ I bought you [Db] some cufflinks, _ _ you [Ab] brought me something. _ _
_ We both know [Eb] what memories can bring, they bring _ [Fm] diamonds _ and rust. _ _ _ _

Well you burst on the scene, _ _ already [Db] a legend, _ _ _ the [Ab] unwashed _ _ phenomenon,
_ _ the [Eb] original _ _ vagabond, you strayed [Fm] into my heart. _ _ _ _ _
And there you _ _ stayed, temporarily _ [Db] _ lost at sea, the Madonna [Ab] was yours for free.
_ Yes, the girl [Eb] on the half _ -shell _ could keep you [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
unharmed. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] Now I see you standing with crown leaves falling all around, [Eb] and snow [Bbm] in your _ _ hair.
_ [Cm] Now you're smiling out the window of that crummy hotel [Ab] over Washington Square. _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ [Db] A breath comes out in white clouds, mingles and [Ab] hangs in the air, _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] speaking strictly for me, we both could have died [Ab] then and there. _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Now you're telling me _ _ [F] _ you're [Db] not nostalgic, _ _ _ then give me another word for it. _ _
You are [Eb] so good with words and at keeping [Fm] _ _
things _ vague.
_ _ Cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all [Db] come back too clearly.
_ _ Yes, I [Ab] loved you _ dearly, [Db] _ _
and if you're offering me [Eb] diamonds and rust,
_ _ _ I'll take the [Fm] diamond.
