enough to close my lips around her Bmsmile
now I can't close my eyes when she's around
she is Caround

G/H

Note that in the second part of the B-part, "the war's they..." you have

to "play" a little around with the chords the get the right sound.

[verse 1]

C Bm

something tells me that I'm left without a chance

in my supicious attempts to get her close

enough to close my lips around her smile

now I can't close my eyes when she's around

she is around

Em D

passing like the wind that shapes the clouds

Bm C G

she is around, she is around

[verse 2]

C Bm

I don't know how but suddenly it has been a while

and we've been walking in through that same front door

undressing like there were no parts to hide

and calling each other names we never had

you never heard

and then an unexpected turn

and we hit the kerb

Bm C

a stupid term, a fatal word

[chorus]

flutter girl

killing me with her sunshine

sunshine

she's so unaware

C Am G D

that she's my melpomene

[b-part]

C G/H

you broke the code

Am Em

just like I'm sure you always do

D C

without intentions but I know

Em D

that's how I broke away from you

Bm C

now that the clouds are obsolete

G Am

I hope you landed on your feet

without those evil demons

keeping you reminded of...

[b-part 2]

C G/H

the war's they pulled us through

Am Em

as fragile hearts ran short of glue

D C

as we're both running out of time

Em D

and seek to drown the fact in wine

Bm C

it should be honest and naïve

G Am

like we should give, we should receive

I must be jaded fading

Bm Am

out of function into solitude

[solo]

[chorus]

flutter girl

killing me with her sunshine

sunshine

she's so unaware

C Am G D

that she's my melpomene

[chorus]

flutter girl

killing me with her sunshine

sunshine

she's so unaware

C Am G D

that she's my melpomene
