Henri Green - Legs And Lungs Chords

Henri Green - Legs And Lungs Chords

C                       D
I love a man who lives kind of far away
           F                          C
And his circumstances are unhelpful at best
C                      D
All the same, I've a fair few things to say
           F                              C
And if I might, I'd like to get them off my chest
       F                              C
Maybe I'm just being foolish or my brain's moving too fast
             F                               Am                  G
Perhaps I'm being just plain stupid to ever think that we might last
    F                             E               Am
But I cannot ignore what's in my heart and in my mind
    F                                   G
So stop, just hear me out if you would only be so kind


      C                           D
Maybe I could learn to drive, or you could learn to fly,
   F                                C
Or we could live together and just boycott the outside
      C                                    D
We'll just live off the land and make our own rules to abide
    F                        C
No need for any money as we stay in bed and hide
     F                                 C              
And you'll tell me your stories about living life as you
     F                                    Am               G
Your dreams and observations and how your favorite color's blue
     F                               E            Am
And I'll lie there in awe of awesome you and lucky me
       F                             G
'Cause I had no idea just how great living life could be


               C
Till there was you with your smile and your face and your wisdom
D
You with your knowledge of my satellite system
F                                      C
You, and how you take the world in your stride
C
You with your heart and your legs and your lungs
    D
On limited wit and limited tongues
      F                              C
Your life, and how it has impacted on mine


           F                                C
Because I always found it hard to let just anybody in
     F                               Am               G
This outcast sociophobic who always hates at her own skin
     F                                 E          Am
But then you came along and taught me beauty is within
         F                              G
And to thank you oh my love where do I begin?


         C
Because you with your smile and your face and your wisdom
D
You with your knowledge of my satellite system
F                                      C
You, and how you take the world in your stride
C
You with your heart and your legs and your lungs
    D
On limited wit and limited tongues
      F                              C
Your life, and how it has impacted on mine
         C
From the tips of your toes to the top of your head
         D
There's nobody else I would rather love instead
       F                                      G
And I love you, need you, would happily be your wife


    Am
One day
           F              G
If that's okay for me to say at this point
   C                                    D
So if I learn to drive, there'll be no need for you to fly
     F                                C
And we can live together and start our own little life
      C                                     D
We'll take days as they come there'd be no need to run and hide
         F                              G
I know I've nothing to fear as long as I've you by my side


          C
Because you with your smile and your face and your wisdom
D
You with your knowledge of my satellite system
F                                      C
You, and how you take the world in your stride
C
You with your heart and your legs and your lungs
    D
On limited wit and limited tongues
     F                                   C
Oh, you have no idea how you've change my life
