[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
