[Verse]
CI met you at a Amparty
Cor on a crowded Amstreet
Ca silent singulaAmrity
Fwhen glances chanced to Gmeet
CYou looked into my glaAmsses
Csaid you'd seen a gAmhost
Ctried my best to makeAm you smile
Fas we calypsoed Gclose
CI had been to ClAmeveland
CYou had been to jAmail
CYou seemed to be rAmecovering
Fbut I felt a little Gpale
COur house it was on sAmeventeenth
Cabove the hardware Amstore
Cthere we lived with seAmven cats
Fall named for in sevGen dwarves
Fbut like leaves and kGings
Fall things must fCall
Fno diamond ring is goGnna
Fcut through it aCll
Cyou were working as a gAmraverobber
Cyou could do your job at nAmight
CI was living hand to mAmouth
Fjust looking for a Gfight
Cthe reason why we Amparted
Cit ain't that hard to Amfind
CI was always busAmy
Fand you never had the Gtime
Cwell the reason why we Amparted
Cit ain't that hard to Amsee
Cbut I was never sAmure
Fif I left you or you leftG me
Fbut like leaves and Gkings
Fall things must fCall
Fno diamond ring is Ggonna
Fcut through it aCll
[harmonica]
Cand when it was all Amover
CI lost myself in Amwork
Cyou got married to a Amlawyer
Fpainting murals in new Gyork
Cand though it seems a millioAmn miles ago
Csince I saw the lAmight
Cthe hours flowed by nAmervously
Flike warships in the Gnight
CMany times I've been Amcorrupted
Cbut I've never been inAm love
Cand I began to reaAmlize
Fthat that's just where I Gwas
Cso I packed up my pAmossessions
Cand caught an eastbound Amtrain
Cmet you in ohAmio
Fsleeping in the raGin
Fbut like leaves and Gkings
Fall things must fCall
Fno diamond ring is Ggonna
Fcut through it aCll
Cso now we're going back aAmgain
Cto start where we Ambegan
Cwith rules and reguAmlations
Fbut no real kinda pGlan
CI learned my lesson Amwell
Cwith no mistakes at aAmll
Conce you find yourself true Amlove
Fyou just keep holding Gon
Flike leaves and kingGs
Fall things must fCall
Fno diamond ring is Ggonna
Fcut through it aCll
Fbut now out of tGhe dark
Fout of the bGlue
Flike leaves and kGings
FI've fallen in love with yoCu
