[G#] _ _ Don't sacrifice your _ [F#] plan, _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] cause it will come back to [C#] you.
Somebody said the other [G#m] day, Natasha you're so much warmer.
I don't know why, but I [G#] think _ _ there's [C#] that cathartic kind of experience of [A#m] creating a
big, like I feel like I've been in labour for [G#] a year and a half. _
And it's been quite [G#m] painful, like trying to give birth to this thing and [B] make sense of this thing.
[G#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ My _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
life was such a disparate, _ [G#m] disjointed amalgamation of all [B] different landscapes, different [A#] [G#] loved
ones all scattered and separated and [F#] being [G#m] catapulted around and not really having any
roots or kind of sense of home or [A#] family or things like [B] that.
And I think that's just something that comes as a [C#] result of doing the job that I do.
_ _ _ _ _ It was a difficult thing to _ make [D#m] sense of that and then going across the desert and
trying to like [Fm] take a little bit of that with me or going [A#m] back to [G#m] England and like writing
a little song on my little machine and trying to bring [D#] something that reminds me of the
[D#m] people that I'm missing.
I [C#] think musically I was trying to [G#] connect all of these places and people and things
and sew them all together to make some [D#m] cohesive whole and so I didn't [C#] feel so fragmented.
_ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
Now that I've [D#m] sewn them all together into this thing that [A#m] I can hold, I [G#] realise that
it's all inside of me anyway and _ _ they're all still there and it's alright.
_ [E] _ _ And I'm happy, I'm happy that [D#] it's done. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ The truth was soft, but 44 or so much less than it was worth.
And every man that touched it found [E] a heaven on [Em] earth.
Heaven is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a _ _ feeling I get in your arms.
Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms.
[C] _ Heaven [Em] is a feeling I get in your _ arms.
_ [A] _ _ [Gm] _ [C] I think for the [Em] first album I was like a little kid being really excited [G] about _ being in this
studio and having like a big selection of [C] instruments and I was like in [Em] a sweet shop,
you know, like the first time and it was amazing. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Queens and the court [Em] jesters laughed, they thought,
their hearts were too _ overdriven, _ mercy sought.
_ Bless [E] this and mercy that the justice _ prevailed,
but I just want my trophy back, it's not a sale.
_ _ For _ the _ first record I was [C] living in the same place and I had a chance to play with Caroline
and Abby [Em] a couple of times a week and I was working [Am] as a nursery school teacher and I
_ _ had my piano in the same spot where I knew where it was and I could just let things develop
and I felt like [E] there was _ life and art kind of intermingled in that kind of [B] much more
consistent and communal way.
[C#m] _ To live life outside [E] the world, _
[B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ to break [C#] the cross that bears [E] her name. _
[G#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ She's not your queen [E] anymore, queen of [B] the [F#] highway.
_ [C#m] _ There's [C#] something _ better [E] than running _ [B] away.
_ She [C#m] really loves him, this [E] I, _ she [B] really loves him, this I,
_ she [C#m] really loves him, _
[B] I tell you. _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [C#m] Because of having a relationship that spanned different [B] countries and family that live in
different [E] countries and obligations to tour [C#m] to different places, [E] all my [B] preoccupations,
all the things I had to do were _ geographically [C#m] separated _ and I was the only [E] thing that was
kind of keeping [B] all those things together.
So _ [C#m] I think through like physical reality [E] but then also as a kind of _ [B] emotional reflection
_ of my [C#m] environment, _ _ _
[F#] it just became that [B] way. _ _
And I think there's a longing for [C#m] it not to be that way [F#] and that's why I was trying to
connect [B] it all together in some form of work [F#] _ and make [C#m] sense of it. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ This time it's been a very different [G#] feeling but a quiet and kind _ [N]
of _ _ _ [C#] sullen excitement. _
[B] _ Like I feel [F#] excited, I feel _
[G] _ like it's this powerful thing that's slowly awakening and
I'm watching it unfold in a much more conscious way than I was with the last [A#] record.
The last record was very [F] like, just hands in all the paint and this one's kind of adding
[N] a little layer there and then going away for a bit and then coming back _ and delicately
trying to wipe that bit away and add that.
It's sort of more like that and I'm seeing it in [G#] the moment for what it really is a bit more.
