So yeah, I hope
that you like it.
Um, yeah!

[E] You [C#] never [E] fail, my [C#]
[Dm] swallowtail Sitting so [B] sweet in the [C] palm of my hand
[Am] To make me [D] feel safe and fill me with grace [F]
Wings as pale as the [Am] sun on a [A]

[F] Merry [A#] and bright, [E] my [G#] cabbage white [Dm] Freshly steamed milk of [B] the moon

[Dm] Why do you have to [C] let go?
[A]
But
I'm not.

We'll [D] never be.
So I'll set [D#] you free.
[C] Up to the [Am] clouds so [A] high.
