Verse 1
Ab 
G 
Ab 
A creature of the open skies,
C# 
C 
G 
Eb 
Ab 
that's how she wants to  be
G 
Ab 
Unhampered like the waves and grass
Db 
Eb 
that are weaving rhythmically
Ab 
C 
D 
And speaking through her skin,
G 
C 
she does the language of
G 
D 
Eb 
Ebm 
Eb 
the leaves.
D 
C 
G 
Then, tripping by the water's edge
C 
G 
like a blueberry fin,
C 
G 
Seeking her reflection,
C 
G 
then seeking it again
C 
D 
G 
And looking like a flower's dew
C 
D 
with no sense of sin
Am 
But as a woman who looks
Bm 
like timelessness,
G 
C 
G 
D 
her eyes  don't recall.
G 
But as a lover who just took me,
Ab 
Am 
C 
D 
now this one I
G 
Ab 
do know best of all.
G 
She's a child, spoken for no one,
C 
G 
D 
G 
and always full of ease.
Expecting full attention,
C 
D 
G 
just to show that she can appease.
C 
D 
G 
She's a broken promise keeper
C 
Wanting so bad to believe
D 
C 
In something that would
G 
need her much
C 
G 
That could lead her fearlessly
C 
G 
Even if it were to imprison dark
C 
G 
She would give away the keys
C 
D 
G 
If it simply took her by the hand
C 
D 
And then promised not to leave
Am 
But as a woman who looks
Bm 
like timelessness
C 
G 
Her eyes don't recall
D 
Eb 
G 
But as a lover, who just took me now,
C 
D 
Eb 
G 
Ab 
G 
this one, yes I do know, best of all
A lover, with an open mind,
C 
D 
G 
that thinks  of love so free
Believing in a rightful thing
C 
D 
to be taken openly
G 
C 
All except for the lover
D 
G 
who's in her eye
C 
D 
Eb 
Whom she guards  most jealously
C 
G 
But always keeping proper distances
C 
G 
and happy just as long as she is
C 
G 
waiting for the moment
C 
when she knows her time has come.
G 
C 
D 
G 
And she's patient like a snowflake
C 
D 
Eb 
that's fallen to the sun
C 
Am 
But as a woman who
Bm 
looks like timelessness,
C 
her eyes don't recall
D 
G 
I put as a lover, who just took me,
Ab 
Bbm 
now this one, yes I do know,
Ab 
Ab 
best of all. you
