[A]
[Bm]
[D] I'd like to try to read [A] your palm.
[G] I used to think I was some [D] kind of gypsy boy [F#m] before I let you take [E] me home.
Now [A] so long, [F#m] it's time that we began [E] to laugh and cry and laugh [A] about it all again.
Well you know that I love [Bm] to live with you.
[D] But you make me forget so [A] very much.
[G] I forget to pray [A] for [D] the angels and then [F#m] the angels forget to pray [E] for us.
[A] Now so long, [F#m] it's time that we began [E] to laugh and cry and laugh about
[A]
it all again.
We met when we were [Bm] almost young.
[D] Deep in the green [A] lilac pond,
[G] you held on to me like I [D] was a crucifix.
[A] [F#m] As we went kneeling through [E] the dark,
[A] oh so long, it's [F#m]
time that we began [E] to laugh and cry and laugh about [A] it all again.
Your letters, they all say that you're [Bm] beside me now.
[D] Then why do I feel [A] alone?
[G] I'm standing on a ledge [E] and [D] your fine spider web [F#m] is fastening my ankle to [E] a stone.
[A] Now so long, [F#m] it's time that we began [E]
to laugh and cry and laugh about [A] it all again.
For now I need your [Bm] hidden love.
[D] I'm cold as a new razor [A] blade.
[G] You left when I told you I [D] was curious.
[F#m] I never said that I [E] was brave.
[A] Oh so long,
[F#m] it's time that we began [E] to laugh and cry and laugh [A] about it all again.
Oh, you are really such [B] a pretty one.
[G]
[D] I see you've gone and [A] changed your name again.
[G] And just when I climbed [D] this whole mountainside [F#m] to wash my
[E] eyelids in the rain,
[A] oh so long,
[F#m] it's time that we began [E] to laugh and cry and laugh [A] about it all again.
