[Intro]
Cm    F

Gm                                 C7                                F
He was so kind, such a gentleman tied to the oceanside
Gm                                  C7                                 F
Lighting a match on the suitcase's latch in the fading of night

Cm7                            F
Ruffle the fur of the collie 'neath the table
Cm7                                    F
Ran out the door through the dark
Bb                    Eb             F
Carved out his initials in the bark
Gm                                           Gm/C                               F
Then the Earth shook, that was all that it took for the dream to break
Gm                                   Gm/C                                  F
All the loose ends would surround me again in the shape of your face
Cm7                                      F
What makes me love you despite the reservations?
Cm7                              F
What do I see in your eyes
Bb                Eb                            F
Besides my reflection hanging high?
Cm7                                    F
Are you off somewhere reciting incantations?
Cm7                     F
Sim sala bim on your tongue
Bb                     Eb                             F
Carving off the hair of someone's young
F                 Eb              F                        Cm
Remember when you had me cut your hair?
Dm        Eb          Cm         Cm
Call me Delilah then I wouldn't care
