Pristine Verses

Intro 
Dm G C F Dm G C Bb A 


          Bb       C             F              Bb 
She wrote pristine verses on the ceiling of my soul 
          Dm        G           C    F 
Till the British Museum said, "slow down" 
         Bb         C 
She sang Angelique songs 
         F           Bb                   C 
Till the devil took tongs and pulled the fire out 



             Am 
It's hard to bear 
Dm         F 
Someone so stunning 
Bb         Am 
Makes you tired 
       Dm        Bb              F 
You realise your whole life's misfired

          Bb         C                 F           Bb 
Then the seamstress touched me and my stitches fell away 
         Dm        G               C         Bb     F 
And the choir was singing though I could not hear a word, they said 
        Bb              C                   F            Bb 
"You're falling up to heaven but you're the wrong way down"

     Bb               C 
Pandemonium in the palace 
     F               Bb 
Desperation on the throne 
             Dm                  G 
To tell the first that first is last 
                C    Bb        F 
You see, she's finally gone home 
          Bb          C 
She wrote sixteen verses 
         F               Bb 
That my memory slipped upon 
            Dm          G 
Though my clutching fingers 
           C              Bb  F 
Held some pieces and the song
