Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
Across the
German border to
Alsace -Lorraine
Bought two tickets for
Marseilles on the
Strasbourg train
When the sun rose we were flying
on a wind of lavender
Drinking red wine in the morning
G 
D 
Am 
along the cold desert
D 
Then you asked a question,
G 
touched a chord in me
D 
Am 
Could there ever be a bluer blue,
G 
D 
A 
bluer than the sea?
Am 
Em 
I had to think it over,
D 
if that could really be
Am 
Gsus2 
think I   gave an answer then for you,
D 
Am 
for you, but not for me
Well, we set up house right off
the square close to our cafe
Made love every morning,
watch the ships roll on the bay
Precious tiny mountain,
my feet were in the flames
By the little market place,
the strolls after the rain
D 
I was beckoned to the wall with
G 
D 
every feeling that I lacked
Am 
A romance gotten out of hand,
G 
D 
Am 
I was falling through the cracks
Em 
D 
We saw some driftwood floating in the blue
A 
Am 
I saw a broken seashell and a pearl
D 
Am 
The pearl
I'm that all -night train to
Stockholm, you got me acting like a kid
Your mouth spun out rebel words,
my soul was on a thread
The kisses made me seasick when you
freshed your lips to mine
Cars are blank and old man's land
A 
D 
Am 
where the heroes storm in blind
D 
You pinched your head down on my lap
G 
whenever I would have screamed
Gsus2 
Am 
Was it love or was it crazy whenever
G 
D 
Am 
women crossed the sea?
Em 
Danger loves to make your plans,
D 
cause danger never sleeps
Am 
That night you hummed
G 
the chorus lines of that song
D 
Am 
Song of you and me
When near became too many times
another word for far
Separation played a major role,
D 
Am 
but the trail was the start
Outside the
A 
Central
Am 
Station, outside in the rain
You pressed your lips against
D 
the glass one last time again
Am 
D 
I stumbled to the streets alone,
G 
looking for my drunken boat
Am 
Lord, it took me hostage
D 
Am 
without a ransom note
Em 
I sailed back to my shipwrecked home
D 
to cut the anchor free
Am 
Watchin' from the churnin' waves,
G 
Gsus2 
D 
you're blowin' kisses
Am 
On the sea to me
Remember that night and the autumn
light on the southern shore of
Creech
Cats chasin' their own shadows,
A 
Am 
we walked along the beach
We smoked and watched a girl swim,
all naked in the sea
Had a screamin' argument,
more smokin' jealousy
D 
G 
Two can live together, still feel all alone
Am 
We both knew you had someone else
G 
D 
A 
waitin' there back home
E 
Em 
When you start playin' game to two,
D 
the puzzle never ends
Am 
G 
A chess game and an extra pawn, yeah
Am 
D 
Am 
Me and you, or you and him
Let me tell you of a story, love,
on a winter's night alone
At the
New
York
City
Opera,
Madame
Butterfly was shown
I sat up in the same row
where we had sat before
I dreamed that we'd seen
La
G 
D 
A 
Boheme, but you said turn the door
D 
Now, a  broken arrow falling
G 
from your smoking bow
D 
Am 
Was it love or was it crazy?
D 
A 
Every leading man must know
Em 
E 
As the curtain fell and the music died,
D 
I was the last to leave
Am 
The crowd had seen a tragedy, but
G 
Gsus2 
G 
D 
Am 
I, I        saw you in me
I'm in
Old
Nut
Tree,
Switzerland, it was almost
Christmas
Eve
Face reflected in the wind,
looking burning on my sleeve
D 
Am 
I felt you in the tunnel,
but my arms weren't long enough
You were naked on the kitchen floor
D 
Am 
the day the blue eyes stopped
D 
Every word we tried to speak,
G 
D 
ice froze in our throats
Am 
A 
Am 
Was it love or was it crazy,
G 
D 
Am 
I didn't wanna know
D 
Em 
When I   finally dried my eyes,
D 
I didn't  wash dirty sheets
A 
Am 
A 
Am 
I saw you bend down and dry your hair,
G 
D 
Am 
but that, but that's you and me
G 
D 
You and me
A 
Am 
Am 
Am 
That was you and me
Am 
You
