Verse A C A Into this strange elastic world C A Pont us kindly gave up a pearl D G His eternal stone and mud D D7 A But ain't she lovely bone and blood C A Born of the sea Em G A A thousand miles away from me D A court of angels G Wards of the sun A future forming D D7 A A curse undone
F#m A F#m A Under our softly burning lamp she takes her time Riff 1 F#m A E Telling stories of our possible lives G E A And love is the ink in the well when her body writes Riff 2 D A D I've been selfish and full of pride A D And she knows deep down there's a little child A F#m But I've got a good side to me as well E D Dsus4 D And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
Break: A C A Em G Verse A C A A song in the tree has distracted her mind C A Some other curious form of life D G Has made it's presence to her known D D7 A And she coos so gently soft and low C A Her shining face in a million reflections Em G A in tiny raindrops that fall in a veil D G Over our city like notes from above D D7 A It overwhelms me! just aint that tough
Riff 1 F#m A F#m It's not that the darkness can't touch our lives A I know it will, in time Riff 1 F#m A E But she's no ordinary valentine G And now when the sun goes down E A she sheds a darling light. Riff 2 D A D I've been selfish and full of pride A D And she knows deep down there's a little child A F#m But I've got a good side to me as well E D Dsus4 D And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
Outro: A C A G D A
