[Intro 1]
[Am][A][Esus4][Asus4][Am][Asus4][Am][Asus4][Am][Asus4][Am][Asus4][Am][Asus4]
[Am][C]
[Asus4][Am][Asus4][A][Am][C][Asus4]

[Verse 1]
She's [Am]catching [Asus4]the wind: the gentlest of br[Am]eezes.
It's a [C]sensitive passage she's
sail[G]ing
Through stormy [Bb]straits,
navig[F]ates my unfathom[G]able [Am]fail[Asus4]ings.[Am]
She rises before me,
[Asus4]reading m[Am]e clearly.

[Verse 2]
Empty [C]nest left pressed in the [G]pillow.
She can [F]shift, she can [C]sway
And [G]bend like a [Am]wil [Asus4]low.[A][Am]
[F]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Asus4][Am][Asus4]
[A]
[Asus4]I'm

[Verse 3]
swept [Am]in the
riptide, caught in a fish trap.
Gift- [C]wrapped in my soft self [G]centre.
Summer [Bb]sun leaves me as [F]one who can
only taste [Am]winter.[A][Asus4]
[Am]She's a go[F]od, a good God- [Bb]send: she can bend like [G]a
[Am]wil [A]low.[Asus4][A][Asus4][A][Asus4][A][F]
She bends like [Am]a wil[A]low. [Asus4]Oh,[A][Am][F]
she bends like a [Asus4]wil low.[A][Asus4]

[Interlude 2]
[A][Asus4][A][Asus4][A][F][G][C][F]
[G][Bb][C][Dm]
[E][C][Am][Asus4][A][Am][Asus4][Am][A]
[Am]With a

[Verse 4]
fully armed angel
to cover me quickly.
I'm [C]cool under enemy [G]fire.
If [Bb]I fall, she can [F]crawl right under the wire.
[Am][A]

[Verse 5]
[Asus4][Am]
When I'm caustic and cold,
she might dare to be bold
Ease me [C]round to her warm
way [G]of thinking:
Fill me [F]up from the [C]cup of [G]love that
she's [Am]drinking.[A][Asus4][Am]
And [F]I find, given [Bb]time,
I can bend [G]like a wil[A]low.
[Asus4]

[Verse 6]
She [Am]bends like a willow.
Bends like a willow,
Like a willow,

[Outro 1]
A willow.
