[Bm][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
This is [D]the
room where we always [Bm]dreamed
Of grass [D]and splendid [G]evenings
[D]Emitting frequencies,
lost [Bm]between the
[D]Leaves and things
And I held on brightly,
[Bm]crushing q[D]uietly
[G]Feeling moun[D]tains rising out of
Make-believe seas, seas,
creat[Bm]ing t[D]yphoons
Of [G]feelings not [D]easily [A]made [D]without need
God bless [Bm]that smile

[Verse 2]
[G]on your fac[D]e
God bless the seeds [A]in the [D]ground[Bm]
[D]God bless my fam[G]ily's kee[D]n gaze,
Oh, [A]I know
[D]That whatever hap[G]pens to you[D],
Whatever hap[A]pens to [D]me,
I hope that [G]I'll fall [A]asleep[D]
Knowing that you'll always [G]be
The story [A]with no ending
[D]

[Verse 3]
The whole slew blossomed beauti[Bm]fully,
And I [D]was beside my[G]self
So I [D]gave in[A]to [D]your love
As you rap[Bm]ture asleep, upen[D]ded
And this is like I have [Bm]always
[D]dreamed:
Cobblestone and dusty [G]feet
That's [D]the way it should always be
Head over [Bm]heels and [D]deftly[G]
Won[D]derful [A]and [D]healthy
[Bm]God bless that smile

[Verse 4]
[G]on your fac[D]e
God bless the seeds in [A]the [D]ground[Bm]
God [D]bless my [G]family's [D]keen gaze, oh,
[A]I k[D]now that w[Bm]hatever[D]
[G]happens to [D]you,
Whatever [A]happens to [D]me,
I hope that [G]I'll fall [A]asleep[D]
Knowing that you'll always [G]be
The story [A]with no ending

[Verse 5]
I [G]never thought you were [D]here
You've never left [A]me, have [D]you?
You've never [G]left [D]me at all, not onc[A]e,
[D]and I'm sorry I'm such a bore
[G]I'm sorry [D]I am so h[A]ard[G]
[D]I swear t[G]o g[D]od,[A][D]
I'll [G]be [D]goo[A]d[Bm][G]
[D]From now on, and

[Verse 6]
God bless that [G]smile on your [D]face
God bless the seeds [A]in the
[Bm]ground
[D]God bless my [G]family's keen [D]gaze, oh,
[A]I know t[D]hat w[Bm]hatever
[G]happens [D]to you,
Whatever [A]happens to me,
[G]I h[A]ope t[D]hat I'll f[G]all a[A]sleep[D]
Knowing that you'll always [G]be
The story [A]with no ending
