G Bm/F# Em G/D C G/B Am7 G/B C D

G Bm/F# Em G/D
the last i heard of you
C G/B Am7 C
you were somewhere on a cruise in the mediterranean
G/D Bm/F# Em G/D C G/B
so imagine my surprise to see you very much alive
Am7 E7
in the english rain again

Am
and i can still recall wet afternoons
C/G D
when we were small and simply childish
G A/G D/A
but you’ve created your own ghost
[ ch ] F#/A# [ /Ch ] Dsus4 D
and the need you have is more than most to hide it

F G F G C
oh , chameleon , you’re stealing your way back into my eyes
D/C G/D
beyond a shadow of a doubt
C/E D/F#
you’re a devil , you’re a devil in disguise
B Em A Dsus4 D
do you really change me , or Am i going crazy
G [ ch ] Bm/D [ /Ch ] C C/D G
chameleon , chameleon , chameleon , you’re free again my child

i remember still those lazy summer days
we’d kill out hunting danger
and we were alien to all outsiders
we had no desire to talk to strangers

C A#
