[Verse 1]
EmRollercoasters and Earl Gray Malts
EmOcelot babies but not bath salts
EmHarvest moon in the arms of a tree
Which Emhas been growing there for centuries
[Verse 2]
BasEmsoons, trombones and French horn sections
EmBass clarinets and string art collections
EmOwls and guitars when they do not match
EmGilda, Kristen, Cheri, Tina, Amy and Rachel Dratch
[Chorus]
  CAll these things they're just Emdisappointing
  CAll these things they're just Emdisappointing compared to you
  GThere‘s nothing more beautiful than your Dsmile as it conquers your face
  AThere‘s nothing more comforting than to Cknow
                               Cdim7[  Em]
Know you exist in this time, in this ... place
                                  (break)
[Verse 3: Tracey & Grant]
The Emgenitive case in German, it’s true
Is Emsomething that I’m quite partial to
RacEmhmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev
DostoEmevsky, Bulgakov, Vysotsky and Lev
[Verse 3: Tracey]
EmFrancis Bacon, dolomites
EmBallet dancers with or without tights
EmCentral Park on an autumn day
Will Emalways be stunning and never cliché
