Sophia

G*- 320022

[Verse 1]
G                           A
5 O'Clock and a fire escape symphony
G                                    A
Spilling out across the road and the square
        G                                 A
And the sky's the same as your own do you think of me
       G                                    A
Do the parks and trees and leaves reach you there

[Pre-Chorus]
          D            Am              G
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me
        B    C         B      C
Calling out, again and again

[Chorus]
G*     D          Bm          A
Sophia Sophia I'm burning I'm burning
       G*      D      Bm         A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out
G*       D        Bm            A                   G*
Sophia Sophia I'm learning that some things I can't go without
           B        C
And one of them, is him

[Verse 2]
          G                                     A
And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town,
          G                               A
Learn the language, form the words when I speak,
       G                                   A
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around,
          G                                  A
And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks.

[Pre-Chorus]
D
Passion and silence,
      Am                  G*
Every word, every line, a measure,
         B       C       D
It's the science of the soul,
        Am                    G*         B     C       B      C
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I want to know

[Chorus]
G*     D          Bm          A
Sophia Sophia I'm burning I'm burning
       G*      D      Bm         A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out
G*       D        Bm            A                   G*
Sophia Sophia I'm learning that some things I can't go without
           B        C
And one of them, is him

[Verse 3]
G*                 D
You, with your new born eyes,
              Am7              C
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?
       G*                  D           Bm      A
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
    G     Bm    A      G     Bm   A
Oh, Sophia,          Sophia.

[Chorus]
G*     D          Bm          A
Sophia Sophia I'm burning I'm burning
       G*      D      Bm         A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out
G*       D        Bm            A                   G*
Sophia Sophia I'm learning that some things I can't go without
    B         C        D
I   can't     go    without    him
