Nerina Pallot – Sophia (Guitar)

G                           A
5 O'Clock and a fire escape symphony

G                                    A
Spilling out across the road and the square

        G                                 A
And the sky's the same as your own do you think of me

       G                                    A
Do the parks and trees and leaves reach you there

          D            Am              G
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me

        B    C         B      C
Calling out, again and again

G*     D          Bm          A
Sophia Sophia I'm burning I'm burning 

       G*      D      Bm         A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out 

G*       D        Bm            A                   G*    
Sophia Sophia I'm learning that some things I can't go without

           B        C
And one of them, is him

          G                                     A
And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town,

          G                               A
Learn the language, form the words when I speak,

       G                                   A
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around,

          G                                  A
And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks.

D
Passion and silence,

      Am                  G*    
Every word, every line, a measure,

         B       C       D
It's the science of the soul,

        Am                    G*         B     C       B      C
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I want to know

G*     D          Bm          A
Sophia Sophia I'm burning I'm burning 

       G*      D      Bm         A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out 

G*       D        Bm            A                   G*    
Sophia Sophia I'm learning that some things I can't go without

           B        C
And one of them, is him

G*                 D
You, with your new born eyes,

              Am7              C
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?

       G*                  D           Bm      A
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?

    G     Bm    A      G     Bm   A
Oh, Sophia,          Sophia.

G*     D          Bm          A
Sophia Sophia I'm burning I'm burning 

       G*      D      Bm         A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out 

G*       D        Bm            A                   G*    
Sophia Sophia I'm learning that some things I can't go without

    B         C        D
I   can't     go    without    him
