• Difficulty: Intermediate

🎸 Intro:

D F D F



🎸 Verse 1:
Dsus2      Dsus2/F
Earth went silent
London fell asleep
   Dsus2         Dsus2/F
She dreamed of winter where you appeared to me
Dsus2         Dsus2/F   Gsus2
Perfect timing as new petals in November
 Bbsus2           Csus2
A tender creature, a fever, disarming, fluorescent

🎸 Chorus:
      D       F
There you were with your mirror
 D          Em
Shining the world all over me
    Dm    C
There I was with my butterfly net
Bb          C
Trying to catch your light

D Fmaj7 D Em
Dm C Bb C

🎸 Verse 2:
   D      Fmaj7
I collected stupid ashes
    Bb            Csus2
so that after you'd gone I could hold onto something
     Dm            Csus2
But you stayed unwavering through every false goodbye
Bb          Csus2
 Unsubsiding, pining
for now and for never

🎸 Chorus:
      D       F
There you were with your mirror
 D          Em
Shining the world all over me
    Dm    C
There I was with my butterfly net
Bb          C
Trying to catch your light


🎸 Bridge:
Dm      C           Ab
  Oh if only  the umbrella of the sky
       Bb
Could wrap us up and up
         Dm      C        Bb
That's where I'd zoom in close, dilated as your eyes
          Bb
But til then I'll keep it brief

🎸 Verse 3:
N.C.
Faithful inertia, her bullet doesn't slow
N.C.
It seeks and finds me how far it goes, heaven help me
Dm             Am
Take this bag of wings and drown it in the thames
   Bbm      Bb   C
And wake tomorrow, hollow, hardly forgetting

🎸 Chorus:
      D  F D Em
There you were
    Dm    C
There I was with my butterfly net
Bb          C
Trying to catch your light
