[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Here's a song I sing for you about a girl that I once knew
C
Julia
G
She lived in a great big house with golden gates where servants bowed
C
For Julia
[Verse 2]
Em C
Unashamed I'd sit outside and wait for hours
Em C
Hoping that she'd climb down from her ivory towers
Em C D
This beautiful girl as pretty as any flower had a hold on me
[Chorus]
G
Upstairs in my lonely room I would dream of being cool
C
With Julia
G
I lived in obsessive bliss carefully planning my first kiss
C
Off Julia
[Verse 3]
Em C
One day I was feeling awfully brave and asked her
Em C
If she'd like to come on a date, I just had to
Em C D
She bent down and gently kissed my face and said oh someday
G D Em D C Am
Oh my god how I loved this girl
G D Em D C Am
But no one ever said that love could burn
[Chorus]
G
Waiting by the phone for days for a call that never came
C
From Julia
G
But love is cruel and has no wings but I still hear angels sing
C
For my Julia
[Verse 4]
Em C
I remember being overwhelmed by her prettiness
Em C
If only she would look my way I might be in business
Em C D
To tell the truth she didn't even know I existed, Julia
[Chorus]
G
Summer took her pretty clothes, winter came in grey and snow
C
Oh Julia
G
And I found out she'd moved away, her best friend said to the north country
C
Julia
[Verse 5]
Em C
Now all this happened many years ago my friend
Em C
Regrettably there is no happy end, oh no
Em C D G
She was 14, I was only 10, oh my Julia
