phantom bride from the album the innocents

intro : A G

A G D A
she was a shy girl from a lonely street
A G D A
she had no job to do and no friends to meet
A G D A
she’d sit in silence in her rented room
A G D A
dream of her childhood and invented truths

F#m D A
and in her mind she’d drift away
F#m C#m E
a secret place to steal away

A F#m E
don’t you cry , don’t you cry
A D E
let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
A F#m E
don’t you cry , don’t you cry
A D E
let me wipe away the tears from your eyes

A G D A
he was a good boy from the outside of town
A G D A
said he could treat her right said he could win her round
A G D A
her morning sickness and the kick inside
A G D A
the phantom kisses of the phantom bride

F#m D A
and in her mind she’d drift away
F#m C#m E
a secret place to steal away

A F#m E
don’t you cry , don’t you cry
A D E
let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
A F#m E
don’t you cry , don’t you cry
F#m D D
let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
