[Intro]
A  G  D  G
[Verse 1]
This is Awhere, and this is where the bottle lGands
Where all the biggest questions mDeet,
With little feet stood in the sGand
And this is wAhere, the echoes slow to nothing on the tGide 
And where a tiny pair of hDands finds a sea-worn piece of glGass
[Pre-Chorus]
And sets it as a sapphire in her Bmmind
And there she stAands, C#mthrowing both her arms around the woC#rld                                   F#m  
A world that doesn't even C#mknow     C#how much it needs this little Dmaj7girl 
[Chorus]
It's all gonna be magAnificent
She saDmaj7ys, "it's all gonna be magAnificent"
[Verse 2]
      AThis is where it all beGgan,
To light your mother's cigDarette
Meant I got to touch her Ghand.
And my hAeart, there defrosting in a gGaze
Wasn't built to be that wDay
Suddenly I underGstand
[Pre-Chorus]
There on the sBmandA  
C#mThrowing both her arms around the wC#orldF#m  
A world that doesn't even C#mknow     C#how much it needs this little Dmaj7girl 
[Chorus]
It's all gonna be magAnificent 
She sDmaj7ays, "it's all gonna be magAnificent"
She sDmaj7ays, "it's all gonna be magAnificent"
She sDmaj7ays, "it's all gonna be magAnificent"
[Outro]
Dmaj7  A
        Dmaj7The echoes slowA  
The bottle laDmaj7nds
An echo sAlow, and there she Dmaj7stands

[Intro]

A G D G

[Verse 1]

A G

This is where, and this is where the bottle lands

Where all the biggest questions meet,

With little feet stood in the sand

A G

And this is where, the echoes slow to nothing on the tide

D G

And where a tiny pair of hands finds a sea-worn piece of glass

[Pre-Chorus]

And sets it as a sapphire in her mind

A C#m C# F#m

And there she stands, throwing both her arms around the world

C#m C# Dmaj7

A world that doesn't even know how much it needs this little girl

[Chorus]

It's all gonna be magnificent

Dmaj7 A

She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"

[Verse 2]

A G

This is where it all began,

To light your mother's cigarette

Meant I got to touch her hand.

A G

And my heart, there defrosting in a gaze

Wasn't built to be that way

Suddenly I understand

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm A

There on the sand

C#m C# F#m

Throwing both her arms around the world

C#m C# Dmaj7

A world that doesn't even know how much it needs this little girl

[Chorus]

It's all gonna be magnificent

Dmaj7 A

She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"

Dmaj7 A

She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"

Dmaj7 A

She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"

[Outro]

Dmaj7 A

The echoes slow

Dmaj7

The bottle lands

A Dmaj7

An echo slow, and there she stands
