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

When I think more than I want to think
Am Em
Do things I never should do

I drink much more than I ought to drink
Am E
Because I brings me back you...
