Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
G                         Em
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning
  G                                   Em                     
I fell through the floor, watched you rise through the ceiling
      C 
She's so high, higher than thought can think
  C*                                        D         
A mere sprite, like one of the nubilate, so hold tight
    C                       C*
She radiates light from her jokes, it's what men prefer
D                       G         D
They need the centre of things
              G        D
The centre of things
G                         Em
I watched them packing up all Sunday morning
    G                          Em                    
The day of the fourth and they fled without warning
     C                                        
It's so bright, the sun almost burns your eyes
  C*                                   D     
A cruel fight, I feel I can sympathise famine
   C                         C*                         
It pours over boiling words, it's more than we deserve
D                   G        D 
Love is a beautiful curse
            G        D
A beautiful curse
G               Em  G                Em
Badadadadadadadadum badadadadadadada da da da-adum
C                                          C*        
She said "I'm stained like a girl from the bowrie"
                         G
I pay my respects to her hourly
                                                      
I'm just so clumsy and circumspect, never know what it meant
               G*
Perhaps it was heaven sent
      C                                
She's so high, this kitten on gasoline
    C*                    
And codeine, fuelled by her medicine
    D
She lies back
C                         C*
"Handsome" she says again "You've always been my friend
D                        G     D
Lord, it's the loveliest day
              G      D
The loveliest day"
G               Em  G                Em

I fell through the floor, watched you fly through the ceiling
    C                                
And I find, you're finer than porcelain
   C*                           D     
Or bromide on silver gelatin in blue sky
      C                    C* 
She's carried by seraphim, aptly named vallium
D                    G       D
Into the arms of the night
                D
The arms of the night
