[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D Svetlana sucks lemons across from me D G A And I am progressing abominably A G D And I do not know my own way to the sea D G A D But the saltiest sea knows its own way to me
[Verse 2]
D And the city that turns, turns protracted and slow D G A And I find myself toeing th'Embarcadero A G And I find myself knowing D The things that I knew D G Which is all that you can know A D On this side of the blue
[Verse 3]
D And Jaime has eyes black and shiny as boots D G A And they march at you two-by-two, (Re-loo re-loo); A When she looks at you G D You know she's nowhere near through: D G It's the kindest heart beating A D This side of the blue
[Interlude]
Em G C F D
Em7 G C F Bm
D G A D
[Verse 4]
D And the signifieds butt heads with the signifiers D And we all fall down slack-jawed G A To marvel at words! A G D When across the sky sheet the Impossible birds D G A D In a steady illiterate movement homewards
[Verse 5]
D And Gabriel stands beneath forest and moon D See them rattle & boo G A See them shake and see them loom A G D See him fashion a cap from a page of Camus; D G A D See him navigate deftly this side of the blue

[Verse 6]
D And the rest of our lives D Will the moments accrue D When the shape of their goneness G A Will flare up anew A G D Then we do what we have to do, (Re-loo re-loo) D G Which is all that you can do A Bm On this side of the blue
[Outro]
D G Oh it's all that you can do A D On this side of the blue
