A D
I saw your picture in the evening standard:
A D
you were wearing your battle dress.
A C
Oh well, I really must confess
A D
that I shed a little smile for you-
A D
it had really blown my mind.
A C
And I wonder, are you still so kind?
H
Are you still so pure?
A#
There are other rhymes around here somwhere,
A# A
but I'm really not too sure how they fit...
A
Oh Jenny, penny for your thoughts, I wonder how you're
D
thinking now;
A D A D
I hesitate to visualise: our worlds are much too different,
C
that's a sign of the times.
A D
But time was when I read your cards
A D
and wrote the numbers for you in the dust;
A D
I can't remember what they were, but anyhow,
C
I missed the cusp
H
so, so long and so, good bye.
A#
Do you think I'd recognice you by your hair
A
or by your mind now?

when there are no more crossroads
I open my eyes
C
and find I'm walking all alone
H
through the snowy cold.....
A A/ D
Yes, and I wonder if I'm gonna make it through the night?
A D
I'm an author and an actor too,
A D
you're a model in the zoo...
A D
I'm just thinking on wich side of the bars
C
am I looking through.
A D
If I prophesied and avalanche
A D
would you wait and call my bluff
A D
If I gave you just this little song
C
would that be enaugh
H
to save your life
A# A
or is the knife already turning in my hand?
