[Verse 1]

E                                       B
Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden
F#m                                          C#m
You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon
         A                                   E
I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border
              B                                      E
It broke the heart of men and flowers and girls and trees

[Verse 2]

E                                              B
Another rainy day, we’re trapped inside with a train set
F#m                                        C#m
Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met
               A                                E
You’ve got the attic window looking out on the cathedral
         B                                    E
And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk

[Verse 3]

E                                           B
Another day in June, we’ll pick eleven for football
F#m                                              C#m
We’re playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all
          A                              E
I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines
              B                         E
Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds


[Verse 4]

E                                        B
Everybody’s gone you picked me up for a long drive
   F#m                                               C#m
We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight
            A                          E
We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
    B                                       C#m
We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
           B                                   E
That crazy avenue of trees, I’m living there still

 
[Verse 5]

E                                               B
There’s something in my eye a little midge so beguiling
F#m                                        C#m
Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye
            A                                E
I heard the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear
              B                            C#m
You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn’t complain
              B                                E
You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again


[Verse 6]

E                                               B
The lovin is a mess what happened to all of the feeling?
F#m                                                C#m
I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools kneeling
              A                                      E
And words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching forever
             B                                C#m
So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart
                 B                                  E
Ghost figures of past, present, future haunting the heart
