[INTRO]
D   G/D D
D   G/D D
 
[VERSE I]
D                G/D  D
Now she sleeps beside me
     D                G/D D
In a lush four poster castle
        Bm             Bm9 Bm
We were taking turns exhaling
      Bm             Bm9 Bm
Two exhausted bodies flailing
       GM7                G GM7
Just a minute before this moment
      GM7             GmM7             D  G/D D
Now I cannot bear the thought of going home
D   G/D D
 
 
[VERSE II]
D                G/D  D
Now she sleeps beside me
      D             G/D D
I'm a visitor as of lately
   Bm              Bm9
We were in a poem, darkly lit
     Bm             Bm9  Bm
In a secret that we couldn't quit
  GM7                G GM7
A minute before this moment
      GmM7                         D  G/D D
Now I wonder if she'll ever let me stay
D   D/G D
 
 
[VERSE III]
G                G/D  D
Now shе sleeps beside me
       D               G/D D
A dark night of stolеn glances
        Bm                Bm9 Bm
We were blending with our alibis
    Bm              Bm9  Bm
And hoping we won't need them
       GM7
I just wonder if I'll get beyond
       GmM7                             DM9
A mere minute before this moment's also gone
DM9
 
D   Gm/D D

[VERSE IV]
D                G/D  D
Now she sleeps beside me
      D              G/D     G
And I try my best to let her be
  Bm                 Bm9
A world rests on her shoulders
    Bm              Bm9
Her people need her kindness
       GM7
Just a minute before this moment
        GmM7                         D
She was pouring me an endless cup of tea
D   G/D D
D   G/D D
 
[VERSE V]
D                G/D  D
Now she sleeps beside me
   DM7
Or perhaps she's just pretending
    Bm9
Two performative wild creatures
        Bm/A
We were hanging in the balance
       GM7
Just a minute before this moment
         GmM7                       D
Now it's obvious a spell is cast on me
D   G/D D
D   G/D D
 
 
[VERSE VI]
D                G/D  D
Now she sleeps beside me
       DM9
A pale flamethrower in hiding
      Bm9
I'm a new man every time we meet
  Bm/A
I skip home, sunrise at my feet
    GM7
Our virtue is to be discreet
          GmM9                             DM9
Though we know each moment inches toward defeat
D   Gm/D D
D   Gm/D D
 
 
[VERSE VII]
D                G/D  D
Now she sleeps beside me
         D              G/D  D
She just made me forget everything
  N.C.      Bm9
I fled when she invited me
    N.C.        Bm9
Her lips longed to confide in me
      N.C.       GM7
She's morbid and hilarious
    N.C.                                DM9*
Her heart must beat vicariously through me
D   Gm/D D
N.C.
D   Gm/D D
N.C.
 
D   G/D D
D   G/D D
 
[VERSE VIII]
D                G/D  D
Now she sleeps beside me
        D             G/D D
We have drifted off a dozen times
       Bm           Bm9
To the edge of fantasising
         Bm              Bm9
When she wakes up we are fated to
  GM7
Become dream lovers of the past
     GmM7                                D
Or embrace the fire and rise up from the ash
D   Dsus D
D   Dsus D
 
 
[VERSE IX]
D                Dsus D
Now she sleeps beside me
             D                Dsus D
Though she's sleeping next to someone else
    Bm           Bm9
She suffers in a silent way
    Bm            Bm9
And I have barely slept for days
    GM7
But maybe we're just meant to be
      GmM7                           D
The unfinished poem whispered in our sleep
D   Dsus D
D   Dsus D
D   Dsus D
