intro : Em9 B

Em Am
the fire’s dyin’ out
B Em
all the embers have been spent
Em Am
outside on the street
B C B7
lover’s eyes in the shadows
Em Am
you look at me
B Em
i look at you
Em9 Am
there’s only one thing
B ( C ) B7
i want you to do

Em
kiss me
Em9 B Em9
i want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Em9 B Em

Am
i won’t believe that our love’s a mystery
Em
i won’t believe our love’s a sin
Em9 B Em Em9
i want you to kiss me like a stranger once again

Em Am
you wear the same kind of perfume
B Em Em9
you wore when we met
Em Am
i suppose there’s something comforting
B C B7
in knowing what to expect
Em Am
but when you brushed up against me
B Em
before i knew your name
Em Am
everything was thrilling
B C B7
’cause nothin’ was the same

Em
kiss me
Em9 B Em9
i want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Em9 B Em
kiss me like a stranger once again
Am
i won’t believe that our love’s a mystery
Em
i won’t believe our love’s a sin
Em9 B Em Em9
i want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
