White Innocence

Dm                          Gm
She drifted from some minor festival
F                              Eb
Didn't look like any summer of love
Eb                      F        
Just a thousand weekend warriors in 
Gm
a muddy field
Dm                         C
She was the hand to fit my glove
Bb               C                
Funny thing, the innocence of the 
Dsus4
lonely
Bb               C            Dm
Funny thing, the charm of the young

[Verse 2]
Dm                              
See how she moves just like two 
Gm
angels (in white innocence)
F                         Eb
Yet one of them is on the run
Eb             F                 Gm
The other's tapping at my car window
Dm                            C
And I'm squinting through the sun
Bb               C               
Trying to see if she's some child
        Dsus4
 of the nineties
Bb        C                      
Or just another dangerous fantasy
    Dsus4
 of mine
Gm
Yeah. White innocence
Gm
She was white innocence

Dm                        Gm
A perfect hole was in her stocking:
F                               
It made a perfect window to her 
Eb
heart
Eb            F           
I could have moved among her 
    Gm
waterfalls
Dm                       C
Her misty curtains drawn apart
Dm                          
Did she see warm safety in my 
  Gm
numbers
F                            Eb
To want to hitch a ride this way?
Eb              F           
 Felt like I was taking her to 
         Gm
market now
Dm                              
To be sold as the last lot of the 
   C
day
Bb               C               
Funny thing, the distance of the 
Dsus4
lonely
Bb               C            Dm
Funny thing, the charm of the young
Gm
White innocence

[Verse 4]
Dm                                
She pressed the button, lowered 
    C
the window
F                         C      
Let her hand trail in the 
           G
slipstream of the night
F                              C
A frost from nowhere seemed to lick 
her fingers
Bb                                
I could have warmed them, but the 
C             Dm
moment wasn't right

[Verse 5]
Dm                            
Obvious, she was headed nowhere 
     C
special
F                             C  G
Yes, well it was even obvious to me
F                              
I was doing some, some watching, 
   C
some waiting
Bb                         
She'd been here before, most 
  C      Dm
definitely

[Verse 6]
Dm                           
There was the promise of early 
  Gm
bed-time
 F                                 
There was the promise of heaven on 
Eb
earth
Eb          F                    
Think I was sending out 
    Gm
low-voltage electricity
Dm                                
Played it right down for what it 
   C
was worth
Dm                             Gm
She turned and looked at me in white
 innocence
F                           
And with the clearest eyes of 
          Eb
forever grey
Eb                   F          
She rested one small hand for a 
Gm
second on my knee:
Dm                            C
I stopped the car. She walked away
Bb               C             
Funny thing, the wisdom of the 
Dsus4
lonely
Bb               C            Dm
Funny thing, the charm of the young
            Gm
Away you go now
