F#m I want to find this girl I know I need to take her out E I set a snare in evening air F#m Made of faith and hope and doubt I want to spend some time with her Learn the secrets of her trade E I wouldn't mean to cross the line D And look into the other side C# Forbidden to my kind Bm Forbidden to my kind I need to hang out with my love The raven-headed sprite I know I'll never dance like her Or keep her up at night I need to hang around with her I need to let her know Her cause is mine, I'm but a slave I look into her wondrous gaze And taste the strangest chord And make the purest noise Chorus: F#m E F#m What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain E F#m I serve my window watching close, she will appear again A Still polishing her crazy hair G Still whispering curlies, drunk on song F#m E If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place F#m And steal a melody E 'Cause I need only see her face D A thousand worries fall away A And music rushes in Listen to the sound of life (I don't want to be friends) Drink deep of the day (I don't need your advance) Wait for her, but don't obsess (Why do you have to ask?) She'll go the other way (No, I don't want to dance) Winds will blow and storms will rage (But your phrases are poor) The muse is always sad (And you try hard to rhyme) Money tends to disappear (And I can't read your words) Beauty crumbles with the years (But I can read your mind) But music is for us (Music is for us) Music is for us (Music is for us) Chorus If I could only see her face And know that she was close There is a deeper magic here The everlasting muse I left the danger for an hour I left the sadness for a day I know that I am in safe hands She pays the bill and smokes cigar And on the napkin silk She weaves a manuscript with skill An intro, outro, middle eight A tapestry of words A subtle gift to modern rock She says, "be popular, play pop And you will win my love" A subtle gift to modern rock She says, "be popular, play pop And you will win my love" You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  C#  D  E  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
