Chords with lyrics
Verse:
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
we spend our days just drifting away
Am D7 G
as cars go by like bugs upon the leaves
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
every train squirms on through the compost heaps
Am D7 G G5
and the lonely souls are weeping in the eaves
Gmaj7sus2 G G5 Gmaj7sus2
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
when a girl who fell from above
Am D7 G Gmaj7sus2
told you stories you never thought you'd hear
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
about how she fell straight through time
Am D7 G Gsus2 G Gsus2
and the future world collapses on it's knees
Gmaj7sus2 Am
but did you believe her words
D7
did you heed her voice
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
did she say goodbye or steal away like a passing storm on earth
Am
did she make you smile
D7
had you made your choice
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
did you tell her how you felt before loose time stitched over you
Am Amadd9 D D7
and if you believed the girl with shining eyes
D7 G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
maybe you were wise
Gmaj7sus2 G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
so i put her heart in my hands
Am D7 G Gsus2
showed her colours that she'd never even known
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
and she placed a crown on my hair that day
Am D7 G G5 G G5
within the knotted roots of trees she built a home
Am
and it wasn't as simple as we thought it'd be
D D7 G Gsus2 G5 Gmaj7sus2
but she persisted and insisted to push through
Am
and though her eyes began to lose their gleam
D D7 G Gsus2 G5 Gmaj7sus2
i held her close until the day was knew
Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2 Am D D7 G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2 Am D D7 G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
Am Am Amadd9 D D7
(cue the “ooohhs”)
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
and as her clock began to unwind
Am D7 G
and the threads of time unravelled to their ends
Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
that girl i knew who fell from above
Am D7 G
gave a painful smile and hoped we'd meet again
G5 G G G5 G
Gmaj7sus2 Am
but did you believe her words
D7
did you heed her voice
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
did she say goodbye or steal away like a passing storm on earth
Am
did she make you smile
D7
had you made your choice
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
did you tell her how you felt before loose time stitched over you
Am Amadd9 D D7
and if you believed the girl with shining eyes
D7 G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2
maybe you were wise
G Gsus2 Gmaj7sus2 (x3)
Am
perhaps the threads of time will intertwine
D D7 G G5 G G5
and when they do i'll see her in full bloom
Am
and if she flies through time again
D D7 Gmaj7sus2
i'll catch her when she falls through
G5 - 0235
