A                Asus2
I don't want to wake you
Bm               E               D    A Asus4 A
But I'd like to tell you that I love you
          C#m              F#m           D
That the candlelight fell like a crescent
           C#m     Bm   E
Upon your feather pillow

For there's more ways than one
And the ways of the world are a blessing
For when Pinky's dreaming
She owes the world nothing
And her silence keeps us guessing

Chorus:
Bm                          E
Pinky is as perfect as the Fourth of July
Bm                            E
Quilted and timeless, seldom denied
D                             C#m     B7
The trial and the error of my master plan
         E
Now she rolls like the dice in
   D              C#m C Bm A
a poor gambler's hands

You don't want to tell me
But somehow you've guessed that I know
Oh when dawn came this morning
You discovered a feeling
that burned like a flame in your soul

For there's toast and honey
And there's breakfast in bed on a tray
Oh it's ten below zero
And we're about to abandon our plans for the day

Chorus
