[Intro] Gm F C Gm F C Gm F C Gm F C [Verse 1] Gm F C Gm F C I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole Gm F C Gm F C you held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold Gm F C Gm F C oh what a contrast you were to the brutes in the halls Gm F C Gm F C my timid young fingers held a decent animal [Chorus] Bb F Over the ramparts you tossed Bb F the scent of your skin and some foreign flowers Bb F Ab tied to a brick sweet as a song Eb F the years have been short but the days were long [Verse 2] Gm F C Gm F C Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass Gm F C Gm F C we fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed Gm F C Gm F C when our kite lines first crossed we tied them into knots Gm F C Gm F C and to finally fly apart we had to cut them off [Chorus] Bb F Since then it's been a book Bb you read in reverse F so you understand less as the pages turn Bb F Ab or a movie so crass and awkwardly cast Eb Bb that even I could be the star [Bridge] Eb F Ab Bb I don't look back much as a rule Eb F Ab Bb and all this way before murder is cool Eb F Bb Eb but your memory is here and I'd like you to stay F a warm light on a winter's day [Instrumental] Gm F C Gm F C Gm F C Gm F C Gm F C Gm F C [Chorus] Bb F Over the ramparts you tossed Bb F the scent of your skin and some foreign flowers Bb F Ab tied to a brick sweet as a song Eb Ab the years have been short but the days go slowly by Eb two loose kites falling from the sky Ab Eb F drawn to the ground and an end to flight
