A#m         Fm
Once when I saw her there
White light, she stood so still
Warming her eyes to the sea
Hardly her way to be free

Chorus:
A#m        Fm
Auburn and ivory
Heartbreak and pony tails

Holding her bones by the fire
Writing the letter, she saves
White page turns gold to her lies
Wanting her one sacrifice

Chorus

G#                  A#m
Come to me and I'll tell you what's wrong
G#
She said
D#
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for...

Once when I saw her there
White light, she stood so still
White page turns gold to her lies
Her one sacrifice

Chorus
