A C#m7 A C#m7
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
A C#m7 A C#m7
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
A C#m7
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning
A C#m7
I fell through the floor, watched you rise through the ceiling
D
She's so high, higher than thought can think
D7 E
A mere sprite, like one of the nubilate, so hold tight
D D7
She radiates light from her jokes, it's what men prefer
E A E
They need the centre of things
A E
The centre of things
A C#m7
I watched them packing up all Sunday morning
A C#m7
The day of the fourth and they fled without warning
D
It's so bright, the sun almost burns your eyes
D7 E
A cruel fight, I feel I can sympathise famine
D D7
It pours over boiling words, it's more than we deserve
E A E
Love is a beautiful curse
A E
A beautiful curse
A C#m7 A C#m7
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
D D7
She said "I'm stained like a girl from the bowrie"
A
I pay my respects to her hourly
I'm just so clumsy and circumspect, never know what it meant
A7
Perhaps it was heaven sent
D
She's so high, this kitten on gasoline
D7
And codeine, fuelled by her medicine
E
She lies back
D D7
"Handsome" she says again "You've always been my friend
E A E
Lord, it's the loveliest day
A E
The loveliest day"
A C#m7 A C#m7
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
A C#m7 A C#m7
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
A C#m7
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning
A C#m7
I fell through the floor, watched you fly through the ceiling
D
And I find, you're finer than porcelain
D7 E
Or bromide on silver gelatin in blue sky
D D7
She's carried by seraphim, aptly named vallium
E A E
Into the arms of the night
A E
The arms of the night
A C#m7 A C#m7
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
A C#m7 A C#m7 A
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da da-adum
