Intro:
G D Em C
Verse 1:
G D Em C
Under a snail shell lamp
G D Em C
Breadcrumbs with jam fall asleep on a teabag
G D Em C
Down by the old tree roots
G D Em C
Blankets of moss drape over the roof
Pre-Chorus 1:
G D Em
She comes in light up shoes.
C G D Em
I pretend she sees me, and she does too
C G D Em
Everyday in rain or shine.
C G D Em
She waits here in the garden, baby tooth smile
C
There she goes
Chorus:
G D
I hope that she knows
Em
How I love the tiny clothes she makes
C D
The roses and the daisy chains
G D
I'll never be seen
Em C
But I wish on every tea party and solar light
D G
That someday she just might
D Em C D
(I hope that she knows, ah)
("It's time to turn the page")
Verse 2:
G D Em C
Mushrooms have grown since June
G D Em C
I think she did too, no more lights in her shoes
G D Em C
I miss the taste of jam
G D Em C
But mornings, she's late so I understand
Pre-Chorus 2:
G D Em
It's quiet most days now.
C G D Em
The polyester wings don't get used much now
C G D Em
I think she might forget me soon.
C G D Em
When her smile has lost it's last baby tooth
C
There she goes
Chorus:
G D
I hope that she knows
Em
How I love the tiny clothes she makes
C D
The roses and the daisy chains
G D
I'll never be seen
Em C
But I wish on every tea party and solar light
D G
That someday she just might
D
(I hope that she knows)
Em C D
I hope that she knows ah
Bridge:
G
Her hair changed like seasons
D
And her smile creases deepen
Em C D
Her legs couldn't hold all that heart
G
She comes to the dead stump
D
The teabag and breadcrumbs
Em C D
One last tea party to part
Outro:
G D
I think she sees me now.
Em C
I join her, we sit down and say farewell
D G C
I fall asleep right in her hands
Em C
I dream of distant lands and strawberry jam
D G
There she goes
