[Intro]
E
I've learned a little bit
A E
I've lost an awful lot
A E
I know ten thousand people and
F# A
The best of the best
E
I've forgot...
[Verse 1]
E
I can't remember you, though
A E
I remember how we met
A E
I fell a little graceless and
F# A
The pavement, oh, the pavement
E
Won the bet...
[Chorus]
A F#
And in your gentle calling
E B
All the tales spun and the bent
A F#
I heard the softer whisperings
E
That you were heaven spent
C#m A
You were heaven, heaven
E
Spent...
[Verse 2]
E
St Agnes, put your hair down
A E
Tell your man to go to bed
A E
And steal a kiss from fortune's lips
F# A
Before you, before you
E
Lift your head...
[Chorus]
A F#
And in your gentle calling
E B
All the tales spun and the bent
A F#
I heard the softer whisperings
E
That you were heaven spent
C#m A E
You were heaven, heaven spent...
[Bridge]
C#m A B E
I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
C#m A B E
Follow it through till it transcend your grave
C#m A B E
I'll stick in the mix with your feathers and wings
C#m A B E
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings
[Verse 3]
E
I've waited for you since though
A E
I've only known you're near
A E
And in my darkest hour
F# A
Well, I've had, oh, I've had
E
No need to fear...
[Chorus]
A F#
And in your gentle calling
E B
All the tales spun and the bent
A F#
I heard the softer whisperings
E
That you were heaven spent
C#m A
You were heaven, heaven spent...
[Bridge]
C#m A B E
I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
C#m A B E
Follow it through till it transcend your grave
C#m A B E
I'll stick in the mix with your feathers and wings
C#m A B E
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings
