[ verse ]

Em
i lost myself on a cool damp night
C
gave myself in that misty light
D7 Am
was hypnotized by a strange delight
D7 Em
under a lilac tree
Em
i made wine from the lilac tree
C
put my heart in its recipe
Am
it makes me see what i want to see . . .
D7 Em
and be what i want to be
Em7 A
when i think more than i want to think
Am Em
do things i never should do
Em7 A
i drink much more than i ought to drink
Am E
because i brings me back you . . .
E Em7
