G           C/G
I bless the day
D              G
that you were born
G              C/G
The stars came up
     D                G
and the heavens were torn
G             C/G
Apart to make way for your
D              G
Ragged little soul
G           C/G
Unlike many other thing
           D             G
You had a purpose and a goal

G               C/G
This café is my island
         D       G
And the city my sea
G              C/G
You will be my mermaid
         D              G
And the castaway that's me

( G   C/G   D   G )   (2x)

G           C/G
Magic is my sugar
       D              G
I can put it in your tea
G                  C/G
I know it sounds insane
             D              G
But that's what she said to me
G                 C/G
Oh I could make a hymnbook
        D                  G
Out of all the things she does
G                    C/G
From looking like a movie-star
    D              G
To reading on the bus

G               C/G
This café is my island
         D       G
And the city my sea
G              C/G
You will be my mermaid
         D              G
And the castaway that's me

G   C/G   D   G  
                   C/G  
I would like to be cynic
        D               G  
But without you I'd be dead
    G                 C/G  
I would set myself on fire
         D             G  
Just to light you cigarette
    G              C/G  
And if you want to hold my hand
D              G  
Every day and night
G              C/G  
I would gladly chop it off
D                       G  
You can keep it if you like

G               C/G
