The Trophies Of Love Rex De Long/Jan Hauenstein

(C) You are a (Cj7)lady (F)known to turn (C)hearts,
(Dm7)You turned mine (F)‘round and a(G)round,
After (C)all of this (Cj7)time, my (F)heart is still (C)spinning,
While (Dm7)you´re still the (F)lady no (G)man can pin down. (G7)

And it (C)seems the (Cj7)only way (F)you can a(C)bide me
Is (F)put me a(C)side on The (F)Mantle a(G)bove, (G4)
And (C)there I will (Cj7)stand while you (F)choose to Re(C)member,
(F)Gathering (C)dust with The (F)Trophies (G)of (C)Love.

You were (Am)looking for (Am7)someone (Dm7)you’d never known,
And (G)soon moved along to (Dm7)find or be (G)found,
And I (Am)tried to for(Am7)get you, my (Dm7)lady, my (G)own,
Who (Dm7)can´t be for(Cj7)gotten, de(Dm7)nied, slowly (G)drowned.

All too (Cj7)soon, all too soon, too (F)early, too fast
(Dm7)You said goodbye to what (G)I´d hoped would last,
Felt so (Cj7)fine while it lasted, hurt so (F)bad when you went,
Still, I (Dm7)do not regret those (G)days that we spent
To(Am7)gether, and the nights, and the (Dm7)love that we (G)made,
And the (Dm7)morning (Cj7)talks in the (Dm7)oak´s lazy (G)shade…

Now it (C)seems the (Cj7)only way (F)you can a(C)bide me
Is (F)put me a(C)side on The (F)Mantle a(G)bove, (G4)
And (C)there I will (Cj7)stand while you (F)choose to Re(C)member,
(F)Gathering (C)dust with The (F)Trophies (G)of (C)Love.

Now you (Am)come just to (Am7)talk when (Dm7)another man´s gone,
And I (G)sit there and listen, offer (Dm7)help when you (G)let me,
I (Am)dream of what (Am7)might have been and you (Dm7)choose not to (G)notice,
And (Dm7)often I (Cj7)hope you'll just (Dm7)choose to for(G)get me.

And it (C)seems the (Cj7)only way (F)you can a(C)bide me
Is (F)put me a(C)side on The (F)Mantle a(G)bove, (G4)
And (C)there I will (Cj7)stand while you (F)choose to Re(C)member,
(F)Gathering (C)dust with The (F)Trophies (G)of (C)Love. (hold)
And it (C)seems the (Cj7)only way (F)you can a(C)bide me
Is (F)put me a(C)side on The (F)Mantle a(G)bove, (G4)
And (C)there I will (Cj7)stand while you (F)choose to Re(C)member,
(F)Gathering (C)dust with The (F)Trophies (G)of (C)Love. (G) (G7) (C)

Rex started the song some 25 years ago, just the chorus.
I wrote the lyrics for the verses and bridges some months ago.
We tweaked the lyrics and made the music for the verses and bridges
here in Göttingen yesterday and today, 11 February 2012.

We wrote the song in the key of C, I play in the key of G, below.
