And a 12string guitar is the best guitar for this song.

E5
She looked at me across the room

Alone beneath Venetian chandeliers

Against the moon her body rocks

Her eyes were cunning like a fox

The wings of passion fly on all frontiers

No one is too smart

In affairs of the heart ...
E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart

Now upon the bridge she waits
E5
Dreaming of our tangled fates

(I) fell just like a falling star

A victim of this coup d'etat

I could not see behind this masquerade

The tender draw the shortest straw

Tonight we end this fleeting love affair
