I was wandering through the streets of the city
Rambling through the avenues of time
When from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl
And by chance her eyes fell onto mine
So I sat and I acted all nonchalant
She smoked her lavender cigarette
Reading the future that lay in my hands
(strum once, let ring)
My shadow played a bass clarinet
(Bass clarinet plays, no guitar)
We waltzed down a moonlight boulevard
Just two silhouettes in the mist
Days went by and years went by
Moments went by when we kissed
She said, "You beard is woven of heartache
And we'll drink for the lonely tonight."
And the moon is a horny old drunkard
(There is no guitar in this next part, but I'm sure you've figured out the pattern by
now if you wanna play along anyway)
We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced
About the moment when we first met that day
Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced
She handed me a broken memory
A keepsake to forevermore say
That brief taste of love is as sweet as any
And with that, she made her way
She said her name was a secret
Then she said her name was Cherie
iddle name Cherie, so it's a Secret Cherie, maybe?]
Mm.. Maybe
She looked like a Parisian river
She looked like a chocolate éclair
Her eyes were reflections of eyes
And the rainbows danced in her hair
She reminded me of a winter's morning
Her perfume was eau de toilette
She was comparable to Cleopatra
She was like Shakespeare's Juliet
The bohemians of Soho did pirouettes
As we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan
On rivers of ribbon and sailboats of song
(guitar drops out here)
The girl I described, she's as real as the wind
It's true I saw her today
The other details are inventions
Because I prefer her that way

[Where are you going with this, Bret?]
We w[D]altzed down a [D/C#]moonlight [D/B]boulevard [D/A]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
Just two silhouettes in the mist

We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced
About the moment when we first met that day
[I'm trying to watch TV]
Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced
[Ah yeah. Sounds a bit gay]
She handed me a broken memory
A keepsake to forevermore say
That brief taste of love is as sweet as any
And with that, she made her way
[Oh yeah. What was her name?]
She s[D]aid her n[D/C#]ame was a [D/B]secret [D/A]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
Then she said her name was Cherie
[Is her m[D]iddle name Cherie,[D/C#] so [D/B]it's a Sec[D/A]ret Cherie, maybe?]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
Mm.. Maybe
[What did she look like?]
She l[D]ooked like a [D/C#]Parisian [D/B]river [D/A]
[What, dirty?]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
She looked like a chocolate éclair
[That's rare]
Her e[D]yes were r[D/C#]eflections of [D/B]eyes [D/A]
[Oh, nice]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
And the rainbows danced in her hair
[Oh yeah..]
She rem[D]inded me of a [D/C#]winter's mornin[D/B]g [D/A]
[What, frigid?]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
Her perfume was eau de toilette
[What's that mean?]
She was [D]comparable to [D/C#]Cleop[D/B]atra [D/A]
[Quite old?]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
She was like Shakespeare's Juliet
[Thirteen?!]
The boh[D]emians of [D/C#]Soho did [D/B]pirouettes [D/A]
[G] [G/f#] [Em] [A]
As we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan
