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

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
