Intro:

Dm C Dm C
Dm C F  Em


Verse 1:
Dm                    C
Perfume and milk, the body in bloom
    Dm                  C
The falling leaves, the fallen fruit
    Dm                    C
The rot and the ruin, the earth and the worms
    F                   Em
The seasons change, the world turns
 Dm                     C
Trees turn grey and the land turns brown
     Dm                        C
In a house in the woods on the edge of town
Dm             C
Bury it deep, swallow it down
F                   Em
Taking the herbs, a laurel crown
Dm                  C
Doing the work and sleeping alone
    Dm                             C
Downloading "Revelations of Divine Love" on my phone
 Dm                  C
Trying to read, but getting distracted
F                    Em
 Trying to live, but feeling so damaged

Chorus:
Dm
 And all shall be well
 C            Dm C
All shall be well
             Dm                 C
Miracles are often inconvenient
                   F   Em
And a prayer is a spell


Verse 2:
   Dm                   C
I packed my bags and I got in the car
   Dm               C
A pilgrimage to wherever you are
      Dm                      C
April comes with its blossoms beaten by rain
        F                           Em
Oh, the hope and the horror, singing daffodils again
    Dm                     C
The land, it thaws and the leaves turn green
              Dm                            C
And the blue stars of snow glories with the winter jasmine
 Dm                       C
Clothes of silk and satin, lace and leather
    F                    Em
The one pink ribbon that holds me together


Chorus:
    Dm
And all shall be well
C             Dm C
All shall be well
             Dm             C
Miracles are often inconvenient
                   F Em
And a prayer is a spell


Verse 3:
Dm                  C
And I am changing, becoming something else
Dm                         C
A creature of longing, tending only to myself
Dm                 C
 Licking my wounds, burrowing down
     F                         Em
In a house in the woods on the edge of town
      Dm                  C
Well, healing is slow, it comes and it goes
    Dm                       C
A glimpse of the sun then a flurry of snow
    Dm                       C
The first green shoots in a sudden frost
    F                       Em
Oh, something's gained when something's lost
    Dm                    C
The rot and the ruin, the earth and the worms
     Dm                  C      Dm C
The seasons change, the world turns
           F Em Dm C
The world tuuuuuurns
Dm C Dm C F Em


Outro:
Dm                     C
 Perfume and milk, the body in bloom
     Dm                  C
The falling leaves, the fallen fruit
    Dm                    C
The rot and the ruin, the earth and the worms
    F                   Em
The seasons change, the world turns
Dm    C
  The world turns
Dm    C
  The world turns
Dm    C           F Em Dm
  The world turns
