if anyone has any OTR tabs, pass 'em along! Thanks!

Spill-tained pages of poetic prophecy tickle my interest and taunt

at my fantasy[E]

Gentle new lover favorite friend with hidden desire that bothers

my conscience [E]again

Like [D]Paul and Virginia sit close to me on a [A]swing

Like [D]Paul and Virginia sit close to me (whisper my name, kiss me

again) and I'll [A]sing

I'll sing for[E]you

(with you [G7], oh, you[A])

Cobalt blue vessels and clean same sex rabbits old movie romance and

a healthy new habit

Moving in passion, resting in reason with a strong tender poet that

touches each region within

Chorus (with parentheses)

Interlude

[E][D][A][D][A]

Illuminations that shine on the river, subliminal glances provoking

a shiver

Palms full of mystery, fingers of magic, greetings so glorious and

partings so tragic

Chorus (with parentheses) 2X
