E                     A
Tasting you and rain i walk down to the train

E                   A
Try not to look down

E                        A
This day could someday be an anniversary

E                         A
Everything is light and sound

E                       A
Facing forwards going slowly wait for you to show me

E                           A
Where this train wants to go

E                    A
Living by the hour i stopped for every flower

E                        A
Everything is soft and slow

F#m                    A
Now all these tastes improve

                                  E
Through the view that comes with you

F#m                      A
Like they handed me my life

                            E     A E and so on
For the first time it felt right

E                      A
Thank you for making me see there's a life in me

E                    A
It was dying to get out

E                             A
Holding you we make two spoons beneath an april moon

E                        A
Everything is soft and sweet

F#m                        A                       E
This cigarette it could seduce a nation with its smoke

F#m                       A
Crawling down my tired throat

                            E
Scratches part of me that's purring

       A
Softly stirring

   E                    A
I'm captain of industry smoking famously

E                    A
Feet up on the windowsill

E                            A
Looking at all these trees i feel affinity with

E                        A   F#m                  A
Everything so soft and still-budding at my fingertips

                        E
Touching you i start to bloom

F#m                           A
Alive with trains and passing ships

                         E
Soft and sweet upon your lips now

         A
I go "oh wow"

E                      A
Thank you for taking me from my monastary

E                     A
I was dying to get out

E
With tears of gratitude

 A
I like my latitude

E                      A
A cross town train to you

F#m                    A
Now all these tastes improve

                                 E
Through the view that comes with you

F#m                     A
Like they handed me my life

                            E
For the first time it felt worth it

                 A E A and so on
Like i deserved it
