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)
