[Intro]
G  Em  C  D

[Verse 1]
G                 Em 
What a beautiful face
                       C  
I have found in this place
                  D                
that is circling all 'round the sun
G                  Em 
What a beautiful dream
                          C   
that could flash on the screen
                  D                    G
in a blink of an eye and be gone from me
      Em      
soft and sweet
         C                 D                GEm
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

[Verse 2]
G                 Em   
And one day we will die
                       C                  D           
and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
G                  Em   
but for now we are young
                  C  
Let us lay in the sun
                D                     G   
and count every beautiful thing we can see
        Em
Love to be
         C             D                 G Em
in the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me

[Instrumental]
Em  C  G  D
Em  C  G  D  D

[Verse 3]
G              Em                       C     
What a curious life we have found here tonight
                    D                     
There is music that sounds from the street
G                       Em    
There are lights in the clouds
                   C    
*Anna's ghost all around
                       D                           G 
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
      Em      
soft and sweet
         C                 D                G  Em C
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

[Bridge]
Em                   C
Now how I remember you
                                  G
How I would push my fingers through
                                    D
your mouth to make those muscles move
                                       Em
that made your voice so smooth and sweet
                                  C
But now we keep where we don't know
                                  G
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
                            D 
with one you loved so long ago
                         Em    
Now he don't even know his name

[Interlude]
(Em)   C    G    D

[Verse 4]
G                 Em 
What a beautiful face
                       C  
I have found in this place
                  D                
that is circling all 'round the sun
G                     Em   
And when we meet on a cloud
                     C   
I'll be laughing out loud
                      D           G 
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
       Em    
Can't believe
    C                  D            G  Em
how strange it is to be anything at all
