You Bbwalk awGay, then you Aturn aDmround
DmWhat did Athat old Dmblonde gal Bbsay?
AThat is the Dmpart...

Will you Bblose the flowers, hold on to the vase
Will you Dmwipe all those teardrops away from your face

BbWell all of your letters burned up in the fire
DmTime is just memory mixed in with Desire
BbThat's not the road it is only the map I say
DmGone just Alike matcDmhes
From a Aclosed Gdown cabaAret
DmIn a APortuguese SaDmloon
A Gmfly is a circling
Aaround the Dmroom
DmYou'll soon Aforget the tDmune that you Bbplay
For Athat is the Dmpart
You Dmthrow Aa__Dmway
Ah, Athat is the Dmpart
You Dmthrow Aa__Dmway
