Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Into this str[Bb]ange elastic wor[G]ld
Pontus [Bb]kindly gave up a pearl
[G]Of his [C]eternal stone and [F]mud
And ain't she lovely [C]bone and [G]blood
Born of the sea
[Bb]

[Verse 2]
[G]
A thousand [Dm]miles [F]away from [G]me
A court of an[C]gels
Ward of [F]the sun
A future forming
A [C]curse undone
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Under our soft[G]ly burning
[Em]lamps she takes her [C]time[G][Em]
Telling [G]stories of our pos[D]sible lives
And [F]love is the ink in the well
when her [D]body writes
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
I've been [G]selfish and full of [C]pride
And she knows [G]deep down
there's a little [C]child
But I've got a [G]good side
to me as [Em]well
And it's that she [D]loves in spite of [C]everything

[Interlude 1]
else
[C][G][Bb][Dm][G]
[Dm][F][G]

[Verse 5]
A song in [Bb]the tree has
distracted her [G]mind
Some other [Bb]curious form of [G]life
Has made its [C]presence
to her [F]known
And she coos so gently,
[C]soft and [G]low
Her shining [Bb]face in a million re[G]flections
On tiny [Dm]raindrops [F]that fall in a [G]veil
Over [C]our city like notes [F]from above
And it overwhelms me I just
[C]ain't that tough
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
It's not that [C]the dark[G]ness
can't touch our lives
[Em]I know it will in ti[C]me[G][Em]
But she's no or[G]dinary [D]valentine
[F]And now when the sun goes down
she sheds a [D]darling light
[G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]
I've been [G]selfish and full of [C]pride
But she knows [G]deep down
there's a little [C]child
But I've got a [G]good side
to me as [Em]well
And it's that she [D]loves in spite
of [C]everything else
