Verse 1
Em 
C 
F 
A 
D 
When I noticed her the first time,
D#dim 
I was outside  running
Em 
C 
barefoot in the rain.
A 
She lived in the house next door,
her nose was pressed against
D 
the window pane.
D#dim 
When I looked at her, she smiled and showed
Em 
C 
a place where two teeth used to  be.
A 
And I heard her ask her mom
if she could come outside
D 
and play with me.
Soon the days of sand shovels
D#dim 
Em 
C 
gave     way to the mysteries of life
A 
Then I  noticed she was changing
D 
and I looked at her through different eyes
D#dim 
We became as one and knew a love
Em 
C 
without beginning or an  end
A 
And every day I lived with her
D 
was like the new day dawning once again.
And I've loved her
Em 
since every dawn was Shirley Temple.
C 
F 
So to pop was still a nickel
Jambles on her fingertips
Em 
A 
Milk a circle on her lips
D 
After many years our love
D#dim 
grew si       lent
Em 
C 
And at night I heard her cry
A 
And when she left me in the fall
D 
I knew that this would be our last goodbye
D#dim 
I was man enough to give her everything
Em 
C 
she needed for a   while
A 
But in searching for a perfect love
D 
B 
I found that I could not give her a  child
E 
Now she lives a quiet life
Fdim 
F#m 
D 
and is     the mother of a little girl
B 
And every time I pass her house
E 
my thoughts go back into another world
Cause I see a little girl,
Fdim 
her nose   is pressed against
F#m 
D 
the window pane
B 
And she thinks I'm a lonely man
E 
who wants to come inside out of the rain
B 
And I've loved her
F#m 
since every doll was Shirley Temple
D 
So to pop was still a nickel
G 
Jam was on her fingertips
B 
Em 
Milk was circle on her lips
