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

Instrumental: ?
G Em
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning
G Em
I fell through the floor, watched you fly through the ceiling
C
And I find, you're finer than porcelain
C* D
Or bromide on silver gelatin in blue sky
C C*
She's carried by seraphim, aptly named vallium
D G D
Into the arms of the night
D
The arms of the night
G Em G Em
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
G Em G Em G
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da da-adum
