A tiny flame inside my hand
Dadd+11 Bbadd+11 Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
A compromise I never planned

A Asus2 F Fsus2 D Dsus2 Cadd+11
A Asus2 F Fsus2 D Dsus2 Cadd+11
And I'm looking at a blank page now
A Asus2

Dadd+11 Bbadd+11 Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
I whispered something in her ear
Dadd+11 Bbadd+11 Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
I bare my soul but she don't hear
[Chorus]
Dsus2 F/Bb
The scratching of a mellotron
Am7 G
It always seemed to make her cry
Dsus2 F/Bb
Well maybe she remembers us
Am7 G
Collecting space up in the sky
Dsus2 F/Bb
The scratching of a mellotron (Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK)
Am7 G
It always seemed to make her cry (Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips)
[Bridge]
Dadd+11 Bbadd+11 Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
[Verse]
Dadd+11 Bbadd+11 Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
I lay her gently on my clothes
Dadd+11 Bbadd+11 Dadd+11 Bbadd+11
She will leave me yes I know

The scratching of a mellotron

Well maybe she remembers us
Am7 G
Collecting space up in the sky
Dsus2 F/Bb
The scratching of a mellotron (Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK)
Am7 G
It always seemed to make her cry (Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips)
Dsus2 F/Bb
Well maybe she remembers us (Don't look at me with your mother's eyes or your killer smile)
Am7 G
Collecting space up in the sky (Sing a lullaby)
