Bb  C  Dm  C  x2

[Verse 1]
   F
We float before the sea at dusk

In heavy mist, in glitter dust
  Bb
I smile before I want to
  Gm
I smile because you want to
   F
We sip the wind through lips of lust

And out it comes, warm wisps of love
  Bb
I smile because I want to
  Gm
I smile because you want to
Dm
Put the flowers in your hair
C
Wrap your tendrils round my chest
  Bb                      Gm
I smile because I want to
          Dm
I am your boy

[Chorus]
Dm          Bb           F      C
Shake my little soul for you now toy
      Dm          Bb   F        C
And I settle up into a world of noise
      Dm          Bb         F         C
I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy
       Dm         Bb       F        C
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
Dm

[Verse 2]
     F
Down by the shore, a funny foal

Who bit my wings and ate them whole
    Bb
You left before I come to
    Gm
You left before I come to
   F
We took to heels into the trees

I hit my head and bit the leaves
    Bb
You left before I come to
    Gm
You left before I

[Chorus]
Dm          Bb           F      C
Shake my little soul for you now toy
      Dm          Bb   F        C
And I settle up into a world of noise
      Dm          Bb         F         C
I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy
       Dm         Bb       F        C
With a battery of guilt on which to poise

Dm  F  x2

[Bridge]
Dm
Shanks of slate fall to the beach
F
Wrapped in life in ultra greens
Dm
Pools teem with tiny feet
F
And whorls of tired anemones
    Bb
You left before I got to
    Dm
You left before I got to
    Gm
You left before I
    Gm
You left before I
Dm
Shook the flowers from your hair
C
Run to me and kiss my hands
    Gm
I'm dead before I
    Gm
I'm dead before I
Dm C

[Chorus] (x2)
Dm          Bb           F      C
Shake my little soul for you now toy
      Dm          Bb   F        C
And I settle up into a world of noise
      Dm          Bb         F         C
I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy
       Dm         Bb       F        C
With a battery of guilt on which to poise

[Outro] (x2)
  Dm
I smile because I want to
  Bb
I smile because I want to
  Dm
I smile because I want to
  N.C.
I smile because I want to

Bb  Dm
Gm  Dm
