♫ Chorus:
Am7Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
FF     G+G
High up in a chamber
Am7Am7         FF      G+G
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
FF      G+G
Shadowed by a clock face
Am7Am7        FF      G+G
The hands arrested at the time she came and
A minorAm       G+G
When she peered outside
      A minorAm    G+G
She saw the birds, so high
         FF
That she made a wish
         G+G
To grow, one day, her own pair of wings

♫ Verse 1:
            FF
She sailed long from afar
             A minorAm
To find herself in the world
           FF
When in the wind, she heard an island call
              A minorAm  G+G
And so she followed it and came ashore
           FF
On a beach with a crowd

"We waited hеre for you!"
             A minorAm
Then a voice said it was truе
    Bb majorBb       FF
"We all prayed for a princess!”
      G+G
“You're the one heaven sent."

♫ Chorus:
Am7Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
FF     G+G
High up in a chamber
Am7Am7         FF      G+G
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
FF     G+G
Just to remember
    FF      G+G
For the memory got lost in the dark
Am7Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
FF      G+G
Shadowed by a clock face
Am7Am7        FF      G+G
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am7Am7          FF     G+G
Though she showed the passing of the days
 FF      E minorEm        A minorAm
Eternally a child she would remain


♫ Verse 2:
            FF
Before she felt any fear
            A minorAm
The air escaped into silence
         DmDm
She woke up lying on a gilded bed
         A minorAm   G+G
With half a dozen maids around her
    FF
"We're keeping you safe in a tall place
       Am7Am7         G minorGm
Where you can see all the land you lead for us
  FF
By God's decree
      E MajorE        Am7Am7
Hail to the girl, our Queen!"


  FF G+G
Am7Am7 FF G+G

♫ Bridge:
Am7Am7        FF
As the nights ran
  G+G         Am7Am7
Together blurring into years

Her brushstrokes never disappeared

Oh, ooh, oh

Shadowed by a clock face
     FF    DmDm     E minorEm
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am7Am7          FF     G+G
Though she showed the passing of the days
 FF      E minorEm       FF
Eternally a child she would remain


♫ Outro:
           C majorC      G+G     FF
Until one day when a clatter rang through the hills
               E minorEm    E minor 7Em7  FF
They found her gone and a smashed-open windowsill
            E minorEm
A augmentedA feather hung in the air
E minorEm A minorAm G+G  GaugGaug  A minorAm    G6G6
And the once-stopped clock was ticking on
