Intro: G Em G Em (x2)

G                   Em
We met in the East, poured in like a flood
G                           Em
You're the whispering kind, dark sapphire blood
G                  Em
A vision of veils, all shimmery white
G                         Em
Like a backdrop of sails, all aglow from the light
Am            C
Of the wonder behind
            G
At a starry night

Em G Em

G                       Em
In the mountain?s song, and the blue jay's call
G                   Em
My heartbeat flows, in crystal waterfalls
G                      Em
You were so beautiful, in your elegant bed
G                    Em
You'd have my blues, for your Nantucket reds
Am              C
I'd wait in the dark
              G             Em
balanced on a thread
Am                  C
So, I'd wait in the dark
                 G            Em
balanced on this thread

G Em

Am            C
And under the church-light
G
you stand there
          Em
with your wicked blood and your curls
Am              C
Yeah, under the church-light
G
you stand there
        Em
in your fur and your pearls

Am               Em
These lines were here
     C              G
long before we came around
Am                     Em
Yeah, these lines were here
Am
And there's an ember in the rafters
         C                               G
and it's going to bring this whole thing down

Em G Em G Em Am C

G                 Em
In the neon mist, I heard you breathe
G                   Em
An exquisite sound, some secret symphony
G                 Em
Your silken skin, my fingers rough
G                    Em
In the midnight din, we went home and touched
Am                C
Beneath the chandeliers
                  G             Em
in your Persian's dust
Am                 C
Beneath your chandeliers
                  G             Em
in your Persian's dust

Am            C
And under the church-light
G
you stand there
          Em
with your wicked blood and your curls
Am              C
Yeah, under the church-light
G
you stand there
        Em
in your fur and your pearls

Am               Em
These lines were here
     C              G
long before we came around
Am                     Em
Yeah, these lines were here

               C
And there's an ember in the rafters
   G
an ember in the rafters
           Em
There's an ember in the rafters
   Am
an ember in the rafters
           C
There's an ember in the rafters
   G
an ember in the rafters
           Em
There?s an ember in the rafters
   Am
an ember in the rafters
                 C
Yeah, there?s an ember in the rafters
   G
an ember in the rafters
           Em
There?s an ember in the rafters
   C
an ember in the rafters

Am G Em Am

And there?s an ember in the rafters

and it?s going to bring this whole thing down
