GBadadadadadadadaEmdum Gbadadadadadadada Emda da da-adum
GBadadadadadadadaEmdum Gbadadadadadadada Emda da da-adum
GI have been stripped of a Emlayer of meaning
I Gfell through the floor, watched you Emrise through the ceiling
She's Cso high, higher than thought can think
  C*                                                 D  
A mere sprite, like one of the nubilate, so hold tight
                           C  C*
She radiates light from her jokes, it's what men prefer
DThey need the centre of GthingsD  
The centre of GthingsD  
GI watched them packing up Emall Sunday morning
The Gday of the fourth and they Emfled without warning
It's Cso bright, the sun almost burns your eyes
  C*                                        D  
A cruel fight, I feel I can sympathise famine
                            C  C*                         
It pours over boiling words, it's more than we deserve
DLove is a beautiful GcurseD  
A beautiful GcurseD  
GBadadadadadadadaEmdum Gbadadadadadadada Emda da da-adum
                                          C  C*        
She said "I'm stained like a girl from the bowrie"
I pay my respects to her Ghourly
I'm just so clumsy and circumspect, never know what it meant
               G*
Perhaps it was heaven sent
She's Cso high, this kitten on gasoline
    C*                    
And codeine, fuelled by her medicine
She Dlies back
                         C  C*
"Handsome" she says again "You've always been my friend
DLord, it's the loveliest GdayD  
The loveliest Gday"D

GI have been stripped of a Emlayer of meaning
I Gfell through the floor, watched you Emfly through the ceiling
And CI find, you're finer than porcelain
   C*                                D  
Or bromide on silver gelatin in blue sky
                          C  C* 
She's carried by seraphim, aptly named vallium
DInto the arms of the GnightD  
The arms of the Dnight

GBadadadadadadadaEmdum Gbadadadadadadada Emda da da da-aGdum
