Little Atoms

G                        C        
I arose and marigold lay down with
 G/B     D/A G
 curious iris
G                         C       
Cherry gave to victor her prudence
G/B     D/A G
 and her virus
G                        C     
For the sake of purity i can 
G/B      D/A      G
recall the time and place
G                         C       
Between wisdom and murder she gave
 G/B    D/A        G
 up her immaculate face


[Chorus]
   D                          G
My poor belated chastity fell foul 
of grown up games
     D
With false and lovely modesty
  Em
I can recall the names i'll miss
       C           D              
In the particle of me that cares 
   Em
for this
    C                   D         
I betrayed those little atoms with
   G
 a kiss

[Verse 2]
G                                  
Patience has her virtue still, but 
C     G/B        D/A      G
every grace must have its price
G                           C     
I through some felicity may spin a
 G/B     D/A      G
 tale of constant vice

G                            C   
I took my better nature out, 
       G/B    D/A      G
drowned it in the babbling stream
G                                
Took the blossom of my youth and 
C       G/B    D/A   G
blew it all to smithereens


[Chorus]
   D                          G
My poor belated chastity fell foul 
of grown up games
     D
With false and lovely modesty
  Em
I can recall the names i'll miss
       C           D              
In the particle of me that cares 
   Em
for this
    C                   D         
I betrayed those little atoms with
   G

[Verse 3]
G                                
And if you still don't like my 
C       G/B    D/A   G
song then you can just go to hell
G                                
I don't care if i'm right or 
C       G/B    D/A   G
wrong or if my typewriter can spell
G                                
But i cannot promise you i've 
C       G/B    D/A   G
said "goodbye" to childish things
G                                
There's still some pretty insults
C       G/B    D/A   G
 left and such sport in threatening


[Chorus]
   D                          G
My poor belated chastity fell foul 
of grown up games
     D
With false and lovely modesty
  Em
I can recall the names i'll miss
       C           D

[Otro]
    Em
And for the sake of clarity
          Em
They are "faith", "hope", and 
"charity"
       C           D              
In the particle of me that cares 
   Em
for this
     C                  D          
I betrayed those little atoms with a
G
 kiss
G C G/B D/A G
Until fade
