Verse:
Bbm Ab
When she blows the candle flame to smoke
C# F
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
Bbm Ab C#
And monday, she'll go downtown standing naked in the road
F F#
You may know what I am, but who I am you don't know
F# Ab
She runs across the mustard dust sand
C#
She scream down the wind
F
And the sea is in a cold
F#
Like when in holiday homes
F# Ab
And houses like sweets confectionary
C#
Sand castles and drinking wine
F
Hungry dinners perfectly timed
Bbm
And mother and father glowing young
Ab
Happy to be eachother together
F# F
When she blows the candle out she goes to bed
Bbm
And lies and drags through her head
Ab
The day that went, the way of every day
F#
Tomorrow she'll fly a plain
F
Over the fields where the houses aren't build yet
F# Ab
She smiles sweetly across the room
C#
Through the lunch-time smoke
And I loved her for a second
F F#
And discarded the queen and I know
Ab
How sweetness turns sour
C#
And leaves they turn to brown
F
And then to earth and dust
F#
And settle in this town
Chorus:
F# Ab
You get blown away
Ab C#
You get blown away
C# F
You get blown away

And this is the invention

The adventure of my own
