Misc Musicals – Broken Wings - Selma (Guitar)

                 Gm
You say it's not real life

                    Eb
But I've never felt more alive

         Bb                        F
Aware of ev'ry second, of each and ev'ry breath

          Gm
And of my heartbeat

             Eb
How can I describe her?

Bb                        F
Selma, in that silk white dress

               Gm                             Eb/G
She's a ray of moonlight, shining through the window

            Bb/F   F
moving with grace, Selma

                Gm                      Eb/G
Her voice rings sweetly, words floating from her lips

              Bb/F                            F         Gm Bb6 D/A F#
like dewdrops in the wind, nourishing all who hear her

Eb                            Gm
Then her face! It's magical expression

                                         F
Combining a suff'ring with joy sent from heaven

         Eb                     Gm                    F   Bb/D      Eb
For this dream I've waited, she can't be recreated by any sculptor alive

                         Gm        F
She's the light that was missing

                     Bb            Eb
The thing that I was searching for

                             Gm
No longer a stranger in this land

F             Bb/D         Eb
Just one more touch of her hand

                     Dm/F F   Dm  Gm
I yearn for her, for Sel- ma, for more

               Gm                            Eb
And then those beautiful eyes, embedded like jewels

               Bb                          F
The light that shines from them, the power of her smile

       Gm                                Eb
She is thoughtful, her silence a kind of music

                    Bb
It carries you with ease

              F
To a world of dreams

                         Eb        F
She's the light that was missing

                     Bb/D          Eb
The thing that I was searching for

                             Gm
No longer a stranger in this land

              Bb/D         Eb
Just one more touch of her hand

                     F      Dm  Gm    
I yearn for her, for Selma, for more

            Gm       Cm/F Gm        Cm/F    Gm     Cm/F    Gm
She wears a cloak of sor- row, like blossom in the mist of dawn

         Gm           Cm/F  Gm          Cm/F      Gm        F        Eb
But that sorrow, that inner sadness, it links her soul, her soul and mine

                Gm         F7  Bb   Cm       Gm        F          Eb
We see what our hearts are feeling, hear the echoes of voices within

        Gm            F         Bb      Cm     Gm    F     Eb
They describe how our minds are reeling as our story now begins

Eb  Gm/D  | A/C#   Asus4         Aaug7         Bb      C
                      |She's the life that was missing

                     F/A          Bb                             Dm
