Mad Shelleys Letterbox chords by Robyn Hitchcock

Verse :

E
Time
                   A
Is written on your face
                                    E
And the cold white arms of memory embrace you
E
Love



                  A
Is all we lay to waste
          B              F#            B
Now it’s only lips of loneliness that taste you

Chorus:

    B
Oh god you were beautiful
    A
Oh god you were beautiful
    B
Oh god
          F#     G# A    F# E      F# G# C#  B

Verse :

E                   A
Me I never left the room
                                          E
The lightbulb that shone down on me was gloomy
E                       A
I could read you by the moon
     B                F#               B
The way you looked at me I thought you knew me

Chorus:

    B
Oh god you were beautiful
    A
Oh god you were beautiful
   B
Oh god
          F#     G# A    F# E      F# G# C#  B

Verse :

  E
What
                A
Could anybody say
                                         E
Except in hindsight this was bound to happen
  E                         A
When two souls collide this way
        B              F#              B
There’s no compartment they can find a map in

Bridge:

A                      E                     D                A
I don’t know what your mind is thinking your mind’s not in your heart

Chorus:
    B
Oh god you were beautiful
    A
Oh god you were beautiful
    B
Oh god
          F#     G# A    F# E      F# G# C#  B
