into a pearl

[Intro]
Dm   Am/C   G/B   Am


[Verse 1]
(Am)                         F         Em7
Is there a place there every morning
                   F        E7
Where the enemy is curled
                  Dm        Em7
Is the dead arm a warning
                      E7       F
Of a stranger in your world?
                         Dm            Em          Am
Then can't you make that piece of grit turn into a pearl?



[Verse 2]
(Am)               F         Em7
Take a taxi to the station
                         F   E7
Take a slow train to the sea
                        Dm        Em7
All the broken glass is patient
                               E7   F
It knows how smooth it's gonna be
                         Dm                Em               Am
Then can't you take that piece of grit and make a pearl for me?



[Middle 8]
     F
This life never suited you
Em7
Trapped inside that shell
        EbMAJ7
But whatever's gotten into you
       C7                        D   F   Dm   Em7   E7
Can be    gotten out as well



[Verse 3]
(Am)                           F         Em7
If there's a space there every morning
                   F        E7
Where the enemy is curled
                        Dm        Em7
If you feel the phantom forming
                    E7   F
Just wrap around it girl
                         Dm          Em7
Cos no one knows what to make of it
                   Dm            Em7
We step around the rage of it
                 Dm            Em
But only you can smother it
                  Dm      Am/C   G/B
And make us all a pearl

[Outro]
Dm      Am/C   G/B  (repeat until end)
