Sunlight In A Jar

	  		
Intro: 
Em D G D Em D G D Em D G Bm A G 
D A F# G D A F# GG 

D 
We've never been much chop 
                  A 
At all that sensual stuff, 
                  F# 
One of us always seems to stop 
                  G 
Before the other's had enough 
D 
Like a self-help manual that's been 
A 
written in Braille It seems 
F# 
the more that we touch The more we 
G 
learn about our failings 

D 
I'm struck speechless by the 
A 
nape of your neck But your 
F# 
requests and suggestions Have a 
G 
similar effect A 
D 
litany of prettiness 
A 
and pettiness, too I reckon 
F# 
every second second We come 
G 
up with something new 

  D                     G      Em 
I tried to write an opera for us But I 
D       F#     Em     D 
didn't get that far 

                        F#              G 
'Cause trying to sum you up in song 
        Em              G              F#  Em 
Is like catching sunlight in a jar 

D A F# G 
D A F# G 

D                                 A 
Complex, completely credible love 
        F#                                              G 
The kind that is made, not handed to you from above 
   D                                    A 
Is difficult to talk about and harder to write 
   F#                                           G 
Like the rhythm of a pulse, or the contours of firelight 

D                                       A 
Overblown libretto and a sumptuous score 
F#                              G 
Could never contain the contradictions I adore 
D                                                A 
We can just be chaos and then something aligns 
        F#                                           G                 G 
It's so hard to contain, maintain it or define it 

D                        G             Em 
I tried to write another Chorus 
        D       F#  D   Em   D 
But I didn't get that far 
                          F#            G      Em 
'Cause trying to sum you up in song 
                            D           F#   Em 
Is like catching sunlight in a jar 

D G D Bm 
D G D Bm 
D G Bm Em G 

                        D               F#  G 
It's like catching sunlight in a jar 
 D              A    G 
sunlight in a jar 
D          F#  G 
sunlight in a jar 

D G
