Elbow - This blue world
Bb Gm
This blue world and her countless sisters
And all that came before that day
Our atoms straining to align
Was the universe in rehearsal for us
F Bb Dm Bb Am
When all the world is sucking on its sleeve
Gm C F C Dm
You'll hear an urgent morse in the gentle rain
Gm C F C Dm
And if you plot your course on the window pane
Gm C F C Dm Bb Bbm
You'll see the coldest star in the arms of the oldest tree
F
And you'll know to come to me
In the back of a broken car
When the blizzard blossom flew
Reading aloud with our fingers
What we both already knew
And the blizzard blossom flew
When all the world is sucking on its sleeve ....
F Am Gm Dm (x2)
F Am
A sober midnight wish Flies over the roofs and down through the years
Gm
Would that you and yours are sleeping
Dm
Safe and warm in size formation
F Am
While three chambers of my heart beat true and strong with love for another
Gm Dm
The fourth the fourth is yours forever
