See the girl who's always late

Left me crouched at the starting gate

E      A          B      E
Let'em laugh now, let'em gloat
      A            B      E
I'm a guppy in her castle moat
E         A        B    E
If that's all I'll ever be
     A          B  E
It's accidental poetry

Chorus:
A                        B
I want so much more than I can touch
            A                               B
Though what I can touch would be a splendid start
A                          B
All we've never said won't matter much
     A                             B
When we spill out the glory in our hearts

Verse 3:
E       A      B       E
Take my hand I come in peace
            A                  B   E
Said the provocateur to the provocatrice
E        A      B         E
  What a lovely team we'd be
     A          B  E
Like accidental poetry

Verse 4:
E          A        B       E
Search for words to say the hurt
      A           B   E
I'm a monkey at a typewriter
E          A       B       E
   Until I win the love of thee
     A          B  E
With accidental poetry

Chorus:
A                        B
I want so much more than I can touch
            A                               B
Though what I can touch would be a splendid start
A                          B
All we've never said won't matter much
     A                             B
When we spill out the glory in our hearts

Verse 5:
E        A           B         E
Now I've been around enough to see
A                      B         E
All the best things in life cost money
E     A       B        E
Maybe not her love for me
    A          B  E
And accidental poetry

Verse 6:
   E          A          B      E
So here's the girl who's always late
           A          B         E
Hope she arrives it's worth the wait
E          A   B      E
  At the altar can it be
A          B  E
Accidental poetry
