Verse 1:

	     C
	You tell me that you've never been this way before
	                                               C7
	You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere
	         F
	You're standing in the places
	            Fm
	And you're staring down through faces
	       C                        Dm
	That bring to mind traces of a girl
	   G                C
	A girl that I knew somewhere

Verse 2:

	I just can't put my finger on what it is
	That says to me watch out, don't believe her
	I can't give any reasons, girl
	My thoughts are bound down in a whirl
	I just can't think who in the world was that girl
	I know I met her somewhere

Bridge:

	Ebm                  Bb
	Someway somehow the same thing was done
	 Ab                G
	Someone somewhere did me the same wrong

Instrumental break:

	(harpsichord solo over verse chords)

[repeat intro]

Verse 3:

	Well goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again
	My fingers are still burning from the last time
	And if your love was not a game
	I only have myself to blame
	That's as may be, I can't explain
	Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere

[repeat verse 3 from "And if your love..."]

Coda:

	(fade out on C chord)
