[Intro]
| G    | G7   | C    | Cm   | x2

[Verse 1]
         G            G7
I felt a love of such deafening weight
C                    Cm                     G
  Dangling from a ballustrade of shilly-shally
       G7           C
Overlooking infinity and this ecstasy
   Cm
Of you lying next to me
G            G7             C
  And in a peculiar way you clutched me
                       Cm
By the shoulder, said "Boy, I barely know you
                     Em
but would you marry me?"

[Chorus]
   Em/F# G                       C
We were floating about with our heads in the clouds
                    D7
And stealing those words from my mouth
                  Em
You whisper in my ear
 C             D          G
Exactly what I wanted to hear

[Interlude]
|(G)   | G7   | C    | Cm   |

[Verse 2]
             G            G7
I composed a note of such jubilant things
C                           Cm
  And placed it between bed and spring
              G          G7
Of a hostile hostel overrun with
          C           Cm
Shedding towelettes
             G
and Mexican maids
           G7              C
and with indefinite fate I clutched you by the shoulder
          Cm
and said "Girl, I barely know you...
                     Em
but would you marry me?"

[Chorus]
   Em/F# G                       C
We were floating about with our heads in the clouds
                    D7
And stealing those words from my mouth
                  Em
You whisper in my ear
 C             D          G      G7    C
Exactly what I wanted to hear    Ahh - oh

[Outro]
 D             Em     Em/F# G      G7    C
Exactly what I wanted to   hear    Ahh - oh
 D             Em  Em/F# G
Exactly what I wanted to hear
