Emily Ivory

C  F


[Verse 1]
C
Blue skies are opening up
G                             F
Soon there will be gardens to grow
C
Emily, now the world is brightening
G                       F
Look around, look around
F
Stuck in a tower in a forest
F
Working her needle and her thread
F
A Sagittarius hoping for something else
F
She wears her mother's clothes to bed


[Chorus]
C            F                           D7
Emily Ivory waits for the chance of a lifetime
F
It hasn't happened yet
C            F                           D7
Emily's under a blanket she knit for a love
F
She hasn't met him yet
C                  Am
She knows one day he'll sweep her away
D7                    F
Carry her up to the altar
C            F                           D7
Emily Ivory's ready to make an escape
F
Big things are coming soon

[Verse 2]
C
Branch out, a scenery change
                             F
Little birds flown from the nest
C
Emily thought a revolution
                      F
Had come around, come around
F
She met a Gemini and bid her world goodbye
F
She wore her mother's wedding dress


[Chorus 2]
C            F                        D7
Emily Ivory waits from an ivory tower
F
Just like the one she knew
C            F                           D7
Tying her blankets together and weaving a ladder
F
Just like she used to do
C                  Am
And every day she's dreaming away
D7                    F
Eighty-five miles an hour
C            F                    D7
Emily Ivory's ready to make her escape
F
Big things are coming soon

[Bridge]
F        C
It's one step
Dm         C          D7      F
Everything gets so much brighter


[Chorus]
C
Emily Ivory waits for, the chance of a lifetime
F
She never let it go
C                F            D
Emily's on a vacation, she's counting her stars
F
Somewhere in Mexico
C           Am              D7
She knows one day he'll sweep her away
F
Carry her over the border
C              F       D7
Emily Ivory's ready to make an escape
F
Big things are coming soon
C              Am
And every day she's dreaming away
D7                         F
Everything's coming together
C              F                      D7
Emily Ivory's watching, the planets align
F
Big things are coming soon
