[Verse]
CmajThe love of my life when I was a kid
AmCame by my house this morning
We used to Dmdance the afternoons away with Kylie
GBack when the nineties were daEwning
CmajThe love of my life when I was a kid
Used to wAmrite me the sweetest letters
And Dmone night he shot a couple of birds in a pGool
Thought it was to imEpress me
He was my oCmajlder brother's friend and had a light around him
That would cAmhase off any winter
He had Dmno father and his mother seemed younger than oGurs
And he was a Edancer
He had the Cmajkeys to a place where we could practice
It Amfelt almost like Dirty Dancing
MDminus the United States and instead of a rGesort
It was the Folkets Hus bEasement
AAaF#mahhhD  E  
Well then CmajI became a singer and he became a chimney sweep
And a hAmunter and a father of two so far
I got a gDmrand piano and a house with a chimney
And this mGorning he came by to swEeep it
And we Cmajsat on the steps to the house listening
To the bAmirds of the coming spring singing
He said 'get Dmup on the roof and put up a net
Or they will Gbuild a nest in your cEhimney
And Cmajwhen I touched his sweepers arm with mAmy piano fingers
He said "wDmatch Frida, your hands will get dirty"
   GAnd I felt like I had a fEever
The Cmajdark powers, the mayflowers
The rAmoads on which we travel
How he Dmtold me no and how my young heart broke
And how a Gcold new world unrEavelled
I guess Cmajyou do the dirty now and I do the dancing
And oAmnce we were Baby and Johnny
In a sDmmall boring town where the winters were long
And our rGeal names were Frida and EJimmy
AAaF#mahhhD  E

[Verse]

Cmaj

The love of my life when I was a kid

Came by my house this morning

We used to dance the afternoons away with Kylie

G E

Back when the nineties were dawning

Cmaj

The love of my life when I was a kid

Used to write me the sweetest letters

Dm G

And one night he shot a couple of birds in a pool

Thought it was to impress me

Cmaj

He was my older brother's friend and had a light around him

That would chase off any winter

Dm G

He had no father and his mother seemed younger than ours

And he was a dancer

Cmaj

He had the keys to a place where we could practice

It felt almost like Dirty Dancing

Dm G

Minus the United States and instead of a resort

It was the Folkets Hus basement

A F#m D E

Aaahhh

Cmaj

Well then I became a singer and he became a chimney sweep

And a hunter and a father of two so far

I got a grand piano and a house with a chimney

G E

And this morning he came by to sweep it

Cmaj

And we sat on the steps to the house listening

To the birds of the coming spring singing

He said 'get up on the roof and put up a net

G E

Or they will build a nest in your chimney

Cmaj Am

And when I touched his sweepers arm with my piano fingers

He said "watch Frida, your hands will get dirty"

G E

And I felt like I had a fever

Cmaj

The dark powers, the mayflowers

The roads on which we travel

How he told me no and how my young heart broke

G E

And how a cold new world unravelled

Cmaj

I guess you do the dirty now and I do the dancing

And once we were Baby and Johnny

In a small boring town where the winters were long

G E

And our real names were Frida and Jimmy

A F#m D E

Aaahhh
