Intro:
Am Em Dm(or Dsus2) C
Verse 1:
Am Em
A picture of Amsterdam,
Dm C G
Bare trees under glass,
Am Em Dm
Framed in the grey and white, afternoon light,
C G
Of a winter long past,
Verse 2:
Am Em
when I was a riser,
Dm C G
through Dublin I roamed,
Am Em Dm
She was a bare back rider,
C G
Some miles from home,
Chorus 1:
Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C
come back to me,
Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C
come back to me
Verse 3:
Am Em
She's a carnival diver,
Dm C G
Tongue in the sky,
Am Em
Cutting through time like a memory,
Dm C G
Strung on a wire,
Verse 4:
Am Em
The colour of anything,
Dm C G
Fades in the air,
Am Em
She is the film of the book,
Dm
Of the story of the smell of her hair
Chorus 2:
Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C
come back to me,
Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C
come back to me
(Play over) Piano solo:

Verse 5:
Am Em
When every thing's over,
Dm C G
Everything' s clear,
Am Em Dm
Everyone's older,
C G
No one is here,
Verse 6:
Am Em
I try to remember,
Dm C G
A girl on a wire,
Am Em
She's tumbling and diving,
Dm
Above Stephenson's green,
C G
like a kite on the air,
Outro Chorus:
Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C
come back to me,
Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C
come back to me
Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C

Am Em
come back to me,
Bb F C
come back to me
