Verse
=====
AInto this Cstrange elastic Aworld
Pont us kiCndly gave up a pAearl
His etDernal stone and Gmud
But ain't she lovely Dbone D7and Ablood
Born of the Csea A
A thousand Emmiles Gaway from Ame
A court of Dangels
Wards of the Gsun
A future forming
A Dcurse D7undonAe
Chorus
=======
Riff 1
F#mUnder our sAoftly burning F#mlamp she takes her Atime
Riff 1
F#mTelling sAtories of our Epossible lives
And Glove is the ink in the well when her Ebody Awrites
Riff 2
DI've been sAelfish and full of pDride
And she knows Adeep down there's a little Dchild
But I've got a Agood side to me as F#mwell
And it's that she Eloves in spite of Deverything else Dsus4 D

Verse
=====
AA song in the Ctree has distracted her Amind
Some other cuCrious form of life A
Has made it's Dpresence to her Gknown
And she coos so gently Dsoft D7and lAow
Her shining Cface in a million reAflections
in tiny Emraindrops that Gfall in a Aveil
Over our cDity like notes from aGbove
It overwhelms me! just Daint D7that tAough
Chorus
======
Riff 1
F#mIt's not that the dAarkness can't touch our F#mlives
I know it will, in Atime
Riff 1
F#mBut she's no Aordinary Evalentine
And nGow when the sun goes down
she sheds a Edarling Alight.
Riff 2
DI've been sAelfish and full of pDride
And she knows Adeep down there's a little Dchild
But I've got a Agood side to me as F#mwell
And it's that she Eloves in spite of Deverything else Dsus4 D

Notes: Watching James Mercer play it live on youtube. He does little embellishments
which add a fair bit to the song a little. But they aren't really necessary if you just want
to bash it out.
For example on the A chords he will generally play:
A A/G A
likewise on the C:
C C/G C
A good example of this is on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mveay4Ff1BU
