Kt Tunstall - Yellow Flower

intro

F Asus A Gm Csus C

F
still the pulse survives
Am
the conscious candour of our conversation
Gm
lovely as you are
Csus C
i see the strain , the pain , the degradation
F
strips of light delightful
Am
either side of bars so thick and wide
Gm Csus C
you hide them with a colourful sigh

F Am
falling at your feet in sheer joy that you were able to
Gm Csus C
receive me like a favourite chair
A Dm
soaking up the tears if by magic it’ll make me
A# Csus C
ever warmer even after you’re not here

A# C Dm
could i be a boat for you a while?
A# C A A#
could i stay afloat for you and sail in your smile?
Gm C
could i be a boat for you
A A#
and ever gain this weight for you
Gm C F
could i be a boat for you a while?

you are the yellow flower of my youth
the scent of nothing wasted
with little left to prove
oh graceful evergreen you take me
over hill i’ve ever been
and others , just illusions
only seeming to be
falling at your feet in sheer joy that you were able to
receive me like a favourite chair
soaking up the tears if by magic it’ll make me
ever warmer even after you’re not here

could i be a boat for you a while?
could i stay afloat for you and sail in your smile?
could i be a boat for you
and ever gain this weight for you
C#sus C# C#sus C# A# F
could i be a boat for you a while?
