Intro:
C majorC  G+G FF
A minorAm
C majorC  G+G FF
A minorAm

Verse:
C majorC        G+G   FF
Upside down and inside out
A minorAm
You're like a funnel-web, like a black fly on the
C majorC           G+G    FF
Ceiling. Skinny, white haunches high in the
A minorAm
Sky and a black oily gash crawling backwards
C majorC          G+G       FF
Across the carpet to smash all over everything
A minorAm
Wet, black fur against the sun going down
G+G
Over the shops and the cars and the crowds in the town

Chorus:
C majorC        G+G    FF
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is
A minorAm
Born to be
C majorC            G+G      FF     A minorAm
Now this is what she does and this is what she is
C majorC                G+G          FF
And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to
A minorAm
Be. This is what she does
G+G            G+G  FF  A minorAm
And this is what she is

Break:
DmDm
E minorEm  FF

Verse:
C majorC          G+G      FF
Her eyes that look at me through a rainy hair
A minorAm
Two round holes where the air buckles and rushes
C majorC      G+G        FF
In her body, moon blue, was a jellyfish
A minorAm
And I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also
C majorC            G+G      FF
Not there. And spurting ink over the sheets but
A minorAm
She remains, completely unexplained
C majorC
Or maybe I'm just too tongue-tied to drink it up and
G+G                FF
Swallow back the pain. I thought slavery had
A minorAm
been abolished. How come it's gone and reared its ugly head again?

Chorus:
C majorC  G+G         FF
And this is the moment, this is
A minorAm
Exactly what she is born to be
C majorC           G+G      FF
And this is what she does and this is what she
A minorAm
Is.
C majorC           G+G     FF
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is
A minorAm
Born to be. This is what she
C majorC           G+G   FF  A minorAm
Is and this is what she does

Break:
DmDm
E minorEm  FF

Bridge:
C majorC                      G+G
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be
FF                        A minorAm
And this is what she does and this is what she is
C majorC                      G+G
And this is the moment, this is exactly what she is born to be
FF                        A minorAm
And this is what she does and this is what she is

Verse:
C majorC                 G+G    FF
And now she's jumping up with her leaping brain
A minorAm
Stepping over heaps of sleeping children
   C majorC             G+G      FF
Disappearing and further up and spinning out again
A minorAm
Up and further up she goes, up and out of the bed
C majorC             G+G      FF
Up and out of the bed and down the hall where she
A minorAm
Stops for moment and turns and says "Are you still here?"
C majorC          G+G   FF
And then reaches high and dangles
  A minorAm
Herself like a child's dream from the rings of
C majorC   G+G FF A minorAm
