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
