G#
An old sentimental night
Fm
you roll me at your sides
D#              Cm
you shot me down
G#
Though I had no enemy here
Fm
you get me very near and
D#
shoot me down
Cm
shoot me down
G#
your hands they flutter up
Gm
Armed and dangerous my buttercup
D#                Cm
and shoot me down.
     A#
in flames

Stand back, baby, stand back and let me breathe
I think I'm falling out of here
I can hear the grass grow
I can hear the melting snow
I can feel your breath against my ear
I might just disappear
Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?
Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?
Well, wouldn't that be nice?

I look into your eyes
And it comes as no great surprise
You're gonna shoot me down
Shoot me down
I know that when you smile
It'll only be just a short little while
Shoot me down
In flames
Shoot me down
In flames
Shoot me down
In flames
