  Em         E         Em7   E  
I longed for you since I was born;

A woman sensi-tive and warm, 
    D7sus    D7    D7sus  D7, B7 
And that you were.

With pride and strength, 
   Em7       E  
No one would test,

But yet have femi-nine fi-nesse; 
    D7sus   D7    D7sus  D7, B7 
And so much more. 

Chorus 1: 

            Cmaj7 
You took me riding in your rocket; 
Gave me a star. 
But at a half a mile from heaven, 
You dropped me back, 
             Bm7/b5            B7sus  E7 
Down to this cold, cold world. 

            Cmaj7 
You took me riding in your rocket; 
Gave me a star. 
But at a half a mile from heaven, 
You dropped me back, 
             Bm7/b5            B7sus  E7 
Down to this cold, cold world.

  Em     E           Em7     E  
A female Shakespeare of your time, 
     Em       E       Em7     E  
With looks to blow Pi-casso's mind; 
    D7sus   D7     D7sus  D7, B7 
You were the best. 

     Em   E          Em7       E  
Your body moved with grace and song, 
     Em     E       Em7     E  
Like sympho-nies by Bach or Brahms; 
D7sus     D7   D7sus  D7, B7 
 Neverthe-less.            Oh, oh;

Down to this cold, cold world.

The passion burning in your heart, 
      Fm          F         Fm7    F  
Would make hell's fire seem like a spark; 
D#7sus        D#7  D#7sus  D#7, C7 
 Where did it go? 

     Fm       F         Fm7  F  
Just why that you would over-night,

Turn love to stone as cold as ice,

I'll never  know.
