  			Elbow - This blue world 

Bb Gm 

This blue world and her countless sisters 
And all that came before that day 
Our atoms straining to align 
Was the universe in rehearsal for us 

F            Bb        Dm     Bb    Am 
When all the world is sucking on its sleeve 
               Gm     C            F   C   Dm 
You'll hear an urgent morse in the gentle rain 
           Gm        C             F   C    Dm 
And if you plot your course on the window pane 
               Gm                 C        F   C      Dm Bb         Bbm 
You'll see the coldest star in the arms of the oldest tree 
                          F 
And you'll know to come to me 

In the back of a broken car 
When the blizzard blossom flew 
Reading aloud with our fingers 
What we both already knew 
And the blizzard blossom flew 

When all the world is sucking on its sleeve .... 

F Am Gm Dm (x2) 

F                             Am  
 A sober midnight wish Flies over the roofs and down through the years 
Gm  
Would that you and yours are sleeping 
Dm 
Safe and warm in size formation 
F                                     Am  
While three chambers of my heart beat true and strong with love for another 
Gm                                  Dm 
The fourth the fourth is yours forever
