   Am
It started with a dedication
  C                         F                              G
"lost in admiration - happy birthday - i'm forever yours - blossom"
                    Am
Faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
  C                                       F
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
                              G
The wings flew by spelled out my name
  Dm
Six months went by the summer lost
 C                               G
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
                            Am
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
                    Dm                                   C
"please try to understand - i have to see you - have to feel you -
                        G                            Am
Tell you all the ways i need you - yours forever in love"


F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
   C
It varies but the smallest things
     Dm                            Em
You never know how anything will change
 F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
    C
And alters but the smallest things
     Dm                           G
You never know how anything will fade

Intro
     Am                            C
The year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
                       F
She'd started smoking poetry!
                   G
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
       Am
She'd pulled me in...

I answered her
   C
A christmas card in sepia
 F
Arranging when and where
             G
And how the two of us should meet...
     Dm
Her opening so well prepared
   C
A nervous smile
                    G
I couldn't take my eyes from her

She whispered
       Am
"can i use some of your lipstick?"
        Dm
It was perfect so believable
   C                                  G
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
                          Am
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms


F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
   C
It varies but the smallest things
     Dm                           Em
You never know how anything will change
F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
     C
And alters but the smallest things
    Dm                           G
You never know how anything will fade

INTRO

    Am                           C
So alone into the cold new year without another word from her
  F                              G
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
    Am                          C
But weeks went by with no reply untill once more my birthday came
    F                                 G
And with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same...
     Dm                          C
"i'm sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination
      G                                Am
I was sure you'd be the one but i was wrong -
                   Dm                                     C
It seems reality destroys our dreams - i won't forget you blossom"
                   G                    Am
Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...

F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
    C
It varies but the smallest things
    Dm                            Em
You never know how anything will change
F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
    C
And alters but the smallest things
     Dm                           
You never know, you never know, and you never know...
