"SOPHIA"
(Nerina Pallot)

Intro: D#-Bb-Gm-G# (2x) {or you can do it with just D#-Bb}

Verse 1:
Cm                      Eb     Bb     (Gm-G#)
5 o' clock and a fire escape symphony,
         Cm                      Eb   Bb    (Gm-G#)
Spilling out across the road and the square,
        Cm                             Eb    Bb        (Gm-G#)
And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?
       Cm                        Eb                  Bb
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves, reach you, there?

Refrain 1:
           Eb          Bbm              Ab                Abm
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out,
  Bb        B   Bb
Again and again.

Chorus:
   Cm       Eb         Ab          Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning.
        Ab           Cm       Ab         Bb
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
   Ab       Eb          Cm            Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
          Ab           Abm            Bb
I can't go without and one of them is him.

(Do the Verse 1 chords)
And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my hometown,
Learn the language, form the words when I speak,
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around,
And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks.

Refrain 2:
               Eb
Passion and silence,
       Bbm                  Ab
Every word, every line, a measure,
          Abm    Bb        Eb
It's the science of the soul,
            Bbm                 Ab        Abm  Bb    
    B
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I want to know...

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
    Eb
And you, with your new born eyes,
              Bbm               Ab
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?
        Eb                  Bb         Ab      Bb
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
Ab      Eb      Eb  (G#-Bb)
Oh, Sophia, Sophia.

Chorus 2:
   Cm       Eb         Ab          Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning.
        Ab           Cm       Ab         Bb
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
   Ab       Eb          Cm            Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
          Ab
I can't go without
Ab Abm   Bb          Eb
I can't go without him
