Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane Over The Sea

G Em
what a beautiful face
C
i have found in this place ,
D
that is circling all ’round the sun .
G Em
what a beautiful dream
C
that could flash on the screen
D G
in a blink of an eye and be gone from me ,
Em
soft and sweet ,
C D G Em C D
let me hold it close and keep it here with me

G Em
and one day we will die
C D
and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
G Em
but for now we are young
C
let us lay in the sun
D G
and count every beautiful thing we can see
G Em
love to be
C D G Em C D
in the arms of all i’m keepin’ here with me

G Em C
what a curious life we have found here tonight
D
there is music that sounds from the street
G Em
there are lights in the cloud
C
anna’s ghost all around
D G
hear her voice as it’s rolling and ringing through me
G Em
soft and sweet
C D G Em C D
how the notes all bend and reach above the trees

bridge : Em C G D

Em C
now how i remember you
G D
how i would push my fingers through
Em C
your mouth to make those muscles move
G D
that make your voice so smooth and sweet
Em C
and now we keep where we don’t know
G D
all secrets sleep in winter clothes
Em C
with one you loved so long ago
G D Em
now he don’t even know his name

chorus : G Em C D
G Em
what a beautiful face
C
i have found in this place
D
that is circling all ’round the sun
G Em
and when we meet on a cloud
C
i’ll be laughing out loud
D G
i’ll be laughing with everyone that i see
G Em C D G Em C D
can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all
