[Verse 1]
We Ffloat before the sea at dusk
In heavy mist, in glitter dust
I Bbsmile before I want to
I Gmsmile because you want to
We Fsip the wind through lips of lust
And out it comes, warm wisps of love
I Bbsmile because I want to
I Gmsmile because you want to
DmPut the flowers in your hair
CWrap your tendrils round my chest
I Bbsmile because I want toGm  
I am your Dmboy
[Chorus]
DmShake my litBbtle soul for Fyou now Ctoy
And I Dmsettle up inBbto a Fworld of Cnoise
I'm a Dmman of many Bbtricks and Ftools and Cjoy
With a Dmbattery of Bbguilt on Fwhich to Cpoise
Dm
[Verse 2]
Down Fby the shore, a funny foal
Who bit my wings and ate them whole
You Bbleft before I come to
You Gmleft before I come to
We Ftook to heels into the trees
I hit my head and bit the leaves
You Bbleft before I come to
You Gmleft before I
[Chorus]
DmShake my litBbtle soul for Fyou now Ctoy
And I Dmsettle up inBbto a Fworld of Cnoise
I'm a Dmman of many Bbtricks and Ftools and Cjoy
With a Dmbattery of Bbguilt on Fwhich to Cpoise
  Dm    Fx2
[Bridge]
DmShanks of slate fall to the beach
FWrapped in life in ultra greens
DmPools teem with tiny feet
FAnd whorls of tired anemones
You Bbleft before I got to
You Dmleft before I got to
You Gmleft before I
You Gmleft before I
DmShook the flowers from your hair
CRun to me and kiss my hands
I'm Gmdead before I
I'm Gmdead before I
Dm C
[Chorus] (x2)
DmShake my litBbtle soul for Fyou now Ctoy
And I Dmsettle up inBbto a Fworld of Cnoise
I'm a Dmman of many Bbtricks and Ftools and Cjoy

[Intro]

Bb C Dm C

[Verse 1]

We float before the sea at dusk

In heavy mist, in glitter dust

I smile before I want to

I smile because you want to

We sip the wind through lips of lust

And out it comes, warm wisps of love

I smile because I want to

I smile because you want to

Put the flowers in your hair

Wrap your tendrils round my chest

Bb Gm

I smile because I want to

I am your boy

[Chorus]

Dm Bb F C

Shake my little soul for you now toy

Dm Bb F C

And I settle up into a world of noise

Dm Bb F C

I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy

Dm Bb F C

With a battery of guilt on which to poise

[Verse 2]

Down by the shore, a funny foal

Who bit my wings and ate them whole

You left before I come to

We took to heels into the trees

I hit my head and bit the leaves

You left before I come to

You left before I

[Chorus]

Dm Bb F C

Shake my little soul for you now toy

Dm Bb F C

And I settle up into a world of noise

Dm Bb F C

I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy

Dm Bb F C

With a battery of guilt on which to poise

Dm F

[Bridge]

Shanks of slate fall to the beach

Wrapped in life in ultra greens

Pools teem with tiny feet

And whorls of tired anemones

You left before I got to

You left before I

Shook the flowers from your hair

Run to me and kiss my hands

I'm dead before I

Dm C

[Chorus] (x2)

Dm Bb F C

Shake my little soul for you now toy

Dm Bb F C

And I settle up into a world of noise

Dm Bb F C

I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy

Dm Bb F C

With a battery of guilt on which to poise

[Outro] (x2)

I smile because I want to

N.C.

I smile because I want to

Bb Dm
