AInto this Cstrange elastic Aworld

Pont us kiCndly gave up a pAearl

His etDernal stone and Gmud

A court of Dangels

Wards of the Gsun

A future forming

A Dcurse D7undonAe

And Glove is the ink in the well when her Ebody Awrites

DI've been sAelfish and full of pDride

Verse

AA song in the Ctree has distracted her Amind

Some other cuCrious form of life A

Has made it's Dpresence to her Gknown

And she coos so gently Dsoft D7and lAow

Her shining Cface in a million reAflections

in tiny Emraindrops that Gfall in a Aveil

Over our cDity like notes from aGbove

It overwhelms me! just Daint D7that tAough

Chorus

Riff 1

F♯mIt's not that the dAarkness can't touch our F♯mlives

F♯mBut she's no Aordinary Evalentine

And nGow when the sun goes down

she sheds a Edarling Alight.

Riff 2

DI've been sAelfish and full of pDride

And she knows Adeep down there's a little Dchild

But I've got a Agood side to me as F♯mwell

Outro

A C A G D A

Notes: Watching James Mercer play it live on youtube. He does little embellishments

which add a fair bit to the song a little. But they aren't really necessary if you just want

to bash it out.

For example on the A chords he will generally play:

A A/G A

likewise on the C:

C C/G C

Corrections welcome.
