[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
