[Verse 1]
D
I've got rippling waters to wake me
D7 G
To the mornin', my woman, and love
D A7
Tall pine trees are pointin' us easily to heaven above
D
Blue spruce flaming on the grate in the evenin'
C G
Takes the chill away fine
Em B7
Cut the telephone line
E
The story's the same
[Verse 2]
D
There's a worn red chair by the window
D7 G
That she found at a sale down the way
G
When some old women said that they
D A7
Needed more room for winter
D
People like pulling at the stuffin' when they sit down
C G
So it passes the time
Em B7
Cut the telephone line
E
The story's the same
[Chorus]
A E
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day
A
Start to flutter when I hear you say
B7
That you feel too good to go away
E
And you make me feel fine
A E
And you made the world a warmer place
A
By the sparkle of your diamond face
B7
On a gray spot with a little lace
E B7
And you make me feel fine
E B7
Warm as a mountains in sunshine
E B7
On the edge of the snowline
E A G A7
In a meadow of columbine
[Verse 3]
D
Oh, little Jennifer I'd give a penny for
D7 G
What you've got on your mind
D A7
Seems like most of the time you're lying there dreaming
D
Maybe in your vision you'll see how
C G
Our mission is slightly less than divine
Em B7 E
Cut the telephone line, the story's the same
[Verse 4]
D
Now, rippling waters that flow through the ceiling
D7 G
And the walls that are keepin' me warm
G D A7
And the closest I've been to family for days is my music
D
But the silently stare in the morning sky
C G
Is like hearing her calling my name
Em B7 E
Cut the telephone line, the story might change
[Chorus]
A E
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day
A
Start to flutter when I hear you say
B7
That you feel too good to go away
E B7
And you make me feel fine
E B7
Warm as a mountains in sunshine
E B7
On the edge of the snowline
E A G A7
In a meadow of columbine
