Verse 

Em 
I lost myself on a cool damp night 
C 
Gave myself in that misty light 
D7                  Am 
Was hypnotized by a strange delight 
D7            Em 
Under a lilac tree 
Em 
I made wine from the lilac tree 
C 
Put my heart in its recipe 
Am 
It makes me see what I want to see... 
D7                    Em 
And be what I want to be 
Em7                       A 
When I think more than I want to think 
Am                        Em 
Do things I never should do 
Em7                      A 
I drink much more than I ought to drink 
Am                        E        
Because I brings me back you...
