A 577655 G 355433 [Intro] Bm7 G D Bm7 D Bm7 D Bm7 Bm7 G D Bm7 D Bm7 D Bm7 [Verse 1]
Bm7
So I ran but still arrived too late

G                        D
Pushed by duty pulled by fate

Bm7                                   D
Heart’s fixings strained to take the weight

Bm7
Of what had been so long denied

     G
The future bride
[Verse 2]
Bm7
Great current swept me out to sea

G                            D
Firm footings fell away from me

Bm7                               D
Well I was drowning in my own sincerity

Bm7
Dreaming she’d pluck me from the tide

    G
The future bride
[Chorus]
A
Training our optics

        G               D
On the faintest of objects

  A
Weighing our prospects

     G               D
Concerning all aspects

A
Changing our tactics

          G                    D
When she’s up to her old tricks

G                            E
Making up stories that don’t scan at all
[Verse 3]
Bm7
So, some to fire and some to dust

    G                       D
And some to everything that must

    Bm7                        D
And back up the hill like Sisyphus

             Bm7                D
Towards that quickening of the light

     G
The future bride, yeah
[Chorus]
A
Training our optics

        G               D
On the faintest of objects

  A
Weighing our prospects

     G               D
Concerning all aspects

A
Changing our tactics

          G                    D
When she’s up to her old tricks

G                            E
Making up stories that don’t scan at all
[Verse 4]
Bm7
Some say that hope is just a bluff

      G                        D
Like candlelight to draw the moth

         Bm7                     D
That our best is never good enough

        Bm7                        D
But one look tells me she don’t buy it

    G
The future bride
[Verse 5]
Bm7
Between Pegasus and Cassiopeia

     G                       D
More stars than trees in Canada

    Bm7                     D
And amidst them pale Andromeda

     Bm7                      D
With her arms stretched open wide

    G
The future bride
