#Variation on tab by Robert McMillan (mcmillan_ra (at) hotmail.com)

VERSE 1:

A            C           A
Into this strange elastic world
          C               A
Pontus kindly gave up a pearl
      D               G
His eternal stone and mud
              D       Am7      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
             D
A future forming
  Am7     A
A curse undone

G|--4-0---2-------------------------------|
 

F#m        A             F#m                A
Under our softly burning lamp she takes her time
 
 
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-----------4----------------------------|
G|--4-0---2-------------------------------|

 
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

E|----------------------------------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

 
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                 D
And it's that she loves in spite of everything else

VERSE 2:
 
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     Am7        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        Am7         A
It overwhelms me! just ain't that tough
 

BRIDGE 2:
 
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-----------4----------------------------|
G|--4-0---2-------------------------------|
 
F#m                A                       F#m
It's not that the darkness can't touch our lives
                   A
I know it will, in time
 
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-----------4----------------------------|
G|--4-0---2-------------------------------|
 
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.

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                D
And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
