Dadd+11      Bbadd+11            Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
   A tiny flame inside my hand
Dadd+11       Bbadd+11             Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
   A compromise I never planned
Dadd+11       Bbadd+11

And I'm looking at a blank page now
                         A         Asus2
Should I fill it up with words somehow?

VERSE
 
Dadd+11          Bbadd+11              Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
  I whispered something in her ear
Dadd+11        Bbadd+11              Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
  I bare my soul but she don't hear
 
 
CHORUS
 
Dsus2                  Bb6add9
   The scratching of a mellotron
   Am7              G
It always seemed to make her cry
Dsus2               Bb6add9
   Well maybe she remembers us
   Am7              G
Collecting space up in the sky
 
Dsus2                  Bb6add9
   The scratching of a mellotron (Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK)
   Am7              G
It always seemed to make her cry (Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips)
 
 
BRIDGE

VERSE
 
Dadd+11         Bbadd+11          Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
   I lay her gently on my clothes
Dadd+11         Bbadd+11           Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
    She will leave me yes I know

   Am7              G
Collecting space up in the sky (Sing a lullaby)
