■ ■ ■  ■ ■ ■  ■ 


[Verse]
                    Fm           
I didn't think that this could be
              Fm         
All that unto death do we
         Fm                                   
'til you managed the lock and magicked the key
      Fm                                
After night of Hard Drinking and ecstasy


[Chorus]
Gb                              Bbm   
It's softer than words that are spoken
Gb                        Fm               
Blackened on paper that's shredded and torn
   Gb                       Bbm                 
Or carved into stones lying shattered and broken
Cm                  Fm            
Branches beckoned a long long path
Cm7     Cm Cm7       Cm  
Winding ■  up in the past
Fm                            
And this dark and velvet night
     Fm          
That surrounds us


[Verse]
          Fm              
This dark and velvet night
            Fm        
I will wrap arround us
Gb                              Bbm   
It's softer than words that are spoken
   Gb                     Fm                
Or painted as slogans and flung to the lions
Gb                      Bbm                 
Written on slips as the punters wait smoking
         Cm        F7         
A lip of faith the odd skyhigh
Cm              Cm7           Fm   F7
Said goodbye to your place or mine ■ 


[Chorus]
Gb                    Dbm           Dmaj7        Dbm7
■  Don't like to make promises that I can't keep ■   
Gb                   Dbm               Dmaj7    Dbm7 
■  Don't want to hut this old heart or wreck my sleep
Dbm               Gbm7   
Thinking how will we part
Dbm7                     Dmaj7               Dbm7
Will I hold your hand or you be left holding mine
             C              
Between this breath and then
Em7     Em              C   
There's this airlock of time
Em7                 G   
■   This airlock of time
Gm Gm7 Gm C7 Fm
■  ■   ■  ■  ■ 


[Verse]
                  Fm          
And this dark and velvet night
     Fm          
That surrounds us
              Fm          
This dark and velvet night
            Fm        
I will wrap arround us


[Chorus]
Gb                              Bbm   
It's softer than words that are spoken
       Gb                                      F7     
In the towers of great cities that toppled and drowned
Gb                        Bbm             Dbm  
Engraved on gold rings or some other love token
Bbm                  F7      
No walls no bells to sanctify
                     Cm   
This dark and velvet night
