Em
knowing how to love you
Am
puts the ink inside my pen
B7
a thousand years will have to pass
Em
to meet with you again
Em
I remember you at the sermon
Am
with the sun upon your hair
B7
and how you laughed at me
Em
with those eyes didn't care
Am
I chased you down in Paris once
Em
and you tossed me in a stream
B7
But I didn't say I'd seen you there
Em
if only in a dream
Em
and my night caps
Am
a bit too strong a bit too plenty
B7
were there when you danced F.Scott
Em
through those roaring twenties
Am
I had you in my arms once,
Em
on a plank out in the sea
B7
but the life boat that had room for you
Em
it had none for me
Em
so I sit here pining for you
Am
through the centuries that pass
B7
I know I'm going to find you
Em
and I know that it won't last
Em
But I can't stop chasing
Am
no the devils got my tail
B7
For you see I'll hunt and search for you
Em
till they bury me in hell
Am
Oh the hounds have done their barking
Em
and the gates are open wide
B7
and through the smoke and embers
Em
its just you I see inside
