F#        A#m              D#m   C#
Somebody hold me stone still
     B            C#    B            C#
I’m feeling quite ill, feeling quite ill
    F#          A#m           D#m   C#
Oh when will we marry she says
        B            C#   B            C#
There’s bombs in my head, bombs in my head
      F#           A#m       D#m   C#
And flowered grass under my feet
        B          C#   B           C#
Before summer’s defeat, summer’s defeat
     F#          A#m                 D#m   C#
When all of my plans turn to dust
       B           C# B          C#
How do others get up, others get up

[Chorus]
         F#      A#m      D#m   C#
Oh bring all the pieces alive
       B            F#
And watch how they dance
     D#m      C#
To inaudible sighs
F#         A#m          D#m     C#
So sang my mother just listen inside
        B         F#            C#
It was all here before you and stays when you die

[Instrumental]
F# A#m D#m C# F# A#m D#m

[Chorus]
F#               A#m        D#m   C#
Strong hands as small as a coin
   B           C#     B           C#
A girl then a boy, a girl then a boy
     F#         A#m        D#m   C#
But how will I eat, will I live
          B            C#   B           C#
I’ve got more than I give, more than I give
          F#       A#m       D#m   C#
And with terrible fear in my chest
   B            C#      B            C#
I know I’m the best, I know I’m the best

[Chorus]
      F#          A#m     D#m   C#
Oh bring all the pieces alive
B               F#
Watch how they dance
     D#m      C#
To inaudible sighs
F#          A#m         D#m     C#
So sang my mother just listen inside
        B          F#          C#             D#m
It was all here before you and stays when you die
        B          F#          C#              B
It was all here before you and stays when you die

[Instrumental]
C# D#m C# B C# D#m C# B

[Chorus]
          F#     A#m     D#m   C#
Oh bring all the pieces alive
     B              F#
And watch how they dance
     D#m      C#
To inaudible sighs
F#          A#m         D#m      C#
So sang my mother just listen inside
       B          F#            C#             D#m
It was all here before you and stays when you die
       B          F#            C#             F#
It was all here before you and stays when you die
