Intro: G5 E5 G5 E5 (x2)

G5                   E5
We met in the East, poured in like a flood
G5                           E5
You're the whispering kind, dark sapphire blood
G5                  E5
A vision of veils, all shimmery white
G5                         E5
Like a backdrop of sails, all aglow from the light
A5            C5
Of the wonder behind
            G5
At a starry night

E5 G5 E5

G5                       E5
In the mountain?s song, and the blue jay's call
G5                   E5
My heartbeat flows, in crystal waterfalls
G5                      E5
You were so beautiful, in your elegant bed
G5                    E5
You'd have my blues, for your Nantucket reds
A5              C5
I'd wait in the dark
              G5             E5
balanced on a thread
A5                  C5
So, I'd wait in the dark
                 G5            E5
balanced on this thread

G5 E5

A5            C5
And under the church-light
G5
you stand there
          E5
with your wicked blood and your curls
A5              C5
Yeah, under the church-light
G5
you stand there
        E5
in your fur and your pearls

A5               E5
These lines were here
     C5              G5
long before we came around
A5                     E5
Yeah, these lines were here
A5
And there's an ember in the rafters
         C5                               G5
and it's going to bring this whole thing down

E5 G5 E5 G5 E5 A5 C5

G5                 E5
In the neon mist, I heard you breathe
G5                   E5
An exquisite sound, some secret symphony
G5                 E5
Your silken skin, my fingers rough
G5                    E5
In the midnight din, we went home and touched
A5                C5
Beneath the chandeliers
                  G5             E5
in your Persian's dust
A5                 C5
Beneath your chandeliers
                  G5             E5
in your Persian's dust

A5            C5
And under the church-light
G5
you stand there
          E5
with your wicked blood and your curls
A5              C5
Yeah, under the church-light
G5
you stand there
        E5
in your fur and your pearls

A5               E5
