Verse 1:
DmDm             G minorGm
She drifted from some minor festival
FF               Eb MajorEb
Didn't look like any summer of love
Eb MajorEb           FF    G minorGm
Just a thousand weekend warriors in a muddy field
DmDm             C majorC
She was the hand to fit my glove

FF             Eb MajorEb
Yet one of them is on the run
Eb MajorEb       FF         G minorGm
The other's tapping at my car window
DmDm              C majorC
And I'm squinting through the sun
Bb majorBb        C majorC            Dsus4Dsus4
Trying to see if she's some child of the nineties
Bb majorBb    C majorC             Dsus4Dsus4
Or just another dangerous fantasy of mine
G minorGm
Yeah. White innocence
G minorGm
She was white innocence

Verse 3:
DmDm            G minorGm
A augmentedA perfect hole was in her stocking:
FF                Eb MajorEb
It made a perfect window to her heart
Eb MajorEb      FF        G minorGm
I could have moved among her waterfalls
DmDm            C majorC
Her misty curtains drawn apart
DmDm              G minorGm
Did she see warm safety in my numbers
FF              Eb MajorEb
To want to hitch a ride this way?
Eb MajorEb       FF          G minorGm
 Felt like I was taking her to market now
DmDm                 C majorC
To be sold as the last lot of the day
Bb majorBb        C majorC        Dsus4Dsus4
Funny thing, the distance of the lonely

Verse 4:
DmDm                  C majorC
She pressed the button, lowered the window
FF             C majorC         G+G
Let her hand trail in the slipstream of the night
FF               C majorC
A augmentedA frost from nowhere seemed to lick her fingers
Bb majorBb                C majorC       DmDm
I could have warmed them, but the moment wasn't right

Verse 5:
DmDm                 C majorC
Obvious, she was headed nowhere special
FF               C majorC G+G
Yes, well it was even obvious to me
FF                 C majorC
I was doing some, some watching, some waiting
Bb majorBb              C majorC   DmDm
She'd been here before, most definitely

Verse 6:
DmDm               G minorGm
There was the promise of early bed-time
 FF                 Eb MajorEb
There was the promise of heaven on earth
Eb MajorEb     FF            G minorGm
Think I was sending out low-voltage electricity
DmDm                  C majorC
Played it right down for what it was worth
DmDm               G minorGm
She turned and looked at me in white innocence
FF                   Eb MajorEb
And with the clearest eyes of forever grey
Eb MajorEb          FF     G minorGm
She rested one small hand for a second on my knee:
DmDm              C majorC
I stopped the car. She walked away
Bb majorBb        C majorC       Dsus4Dsus4
Funny thing, the wisdom of the lonely
Bb majorBb        C majorC      DmDm
Funny thing, the charm of the young
      G minorGm
Away you go now

White innocence
