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)

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
