Chord progression arranged for the Ukulele
A# A#
Hot breath, rough skin
D# D#
warm laughs, and smiling,
Gm Gm
the lovliest words
F F
whispered and meant
D# D#
you like all these things.


F F
But though you like all these things
A# A#
you love a stone.
D# D#
You love a stone,
F F Cm Cm
because it's smooth and it's cold.
Gm Gm
And you'd love most
F F
to be told
D# D#
that it's all your own.

A# A#
You love white veins,
F F
you love hard grey,
Cm Cm
the heaviest weight,
D# D#
the clumsiest shape,
Gm Gm
the earthiest smell,
F F
the hollowest tone
D# D#
you love a stone.

Bridge: A# A# F F Cm Cm D# D#

A# A#
And I'm found too fast,
called too fond of flames,
D# D#
and then I'm phoning my friends,
and then I'm shouldering the blame,
Gm Gm
while you're picking pebbles
F F
out of the drain,
D# D#
miles ago.
A# A#
You're out singing songs,
and I'm down shouting names
D# D#
at the flickerless screen,
going fucking insane.
Gm Gm
A#m A#m I losing my cool,
F F
overstating my case?
D# D#
Well, baby what can I say?

F F
You know I never claimed
A# A#
that I was a stone.
D# D#
A A#nd you love a stone.
Gm Gm
You love white veins,
F F
you love hard grey,
Cm Cm
the heaviest weight,
D# D#
the clumsiest shape,
Gm Gm
the earthiest smell,
F F
the hollowest tone
D# D#
you love a stone.

Bridge: A# A# F F Cm Cm D# D# (x2) A# A#

D# D#
You love a stone,
F F
because it's dark
Cm Cm
and it's old
Gm Gm
and if it could start
F F
being alive
D# D#
you'd stop living alone.

(quieter)
A# A#
And I think I believe
F F
that if stones could dream
Cm Cm
they'd dream of being laid
D# D#
side-by-side piece-by-piece
Gm Gm
and turned into a castle
F F
for some towering queen
D# D#
they're unable to know.

A# A#
And when that queen's daughter
F F
came of age,
Cm Cm
I think she'd be lovely
D# D#
and stubborn and brave,
Gm Gm
and suitors would journey
F F
from kingdoms away
D# D#
just to make themselves known.

A# A#
And I think that I know
F F
the bitter dismay
Cm Cm
of a lover who brought
D# D#
fresh brouquets every day
Gm Gm
when she turned him away
F F
to remember some knave
D# D# A# A#
who once gave just one rose, one day, years ago.

End:

A# A# F F Cm Cm D# D# X4
A# A#
