        A                                    G
This is where, and this is where the bottle lands

                                 D
Where all the biggest questions meet,

                               G
With little feet stood in the sand

             A                                        G
And this is where, the echoes slow to nothing on the tide 

                          D                                G
And where a tiny pair of hands finds a sea-worn piece of glass
[Pre-Chorus]
                                 Bm
And sets it as a sapphire in her mind

                A     C#m                                 C#       F#m  
And there she stands, throwing both her arms around the world                                   

                          C#m    C#                              Dmaj7
A world that doesn't even know     how much it needs this little girl 
[Chorus]
                     A
It's all gonna be magnificent

      Dmaj7                     A
She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"
[Verse 2]
A                            G
      This is where it all began,

                          D
To light your mother's cigarette

                         G
Meant I got to touch her hand.

        A                            G
And my heart, there defrosting in a gaze

                         D
Wasn't built to be that way

                G
Suddenly I understand
[Pre-Chorus]
              Bm        A
There on the sand

C#m                                C#       F#m
Throwing both her arms around the world

                          C#m    C#                              Dmaj7
A world that doesn't even know     how much it needs this little girl 
[Chorus]
                     A
It's all gonna be magnificent 

     Dmaj7                      A
She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"

     Dmaj7                      A
She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"

     Dmaj7                      A
She says, "it's all gonna be magnificent"
[Outro] Dmaj7 A
Dmaj7                   A   
        The echoes slow

             Dmaj7
The bottle lands

         A                  Dmaj7
An echo slow, and there she stands
