Laura Marling - Blackberry Stone

Intro -x2-: Bm  D  A   
     
    Bm         D    
Well I own this feel     
    Bm        D    
And I rode the sky     
    Bm        D         F#           G    
And I have no reason to reason with you     
     
     
       Bm                         D    
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you lowered,     
      A                                 Bm    
but I understand that I'd never let it go     
                                  D    
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,    
      A                                 Bm    
But I understand the world does what it does     
     
     
    G             D            A    
You never did learn to let the little things go,     
        G            D            A    
And you never did learn to let me be.     
        G            D          A    
And you never did learn to let little people grow,     
    G            D         A    
You never did learn how to see.     
     
     
      Bm                           D    
But I whisper that I love this man now and for forever,     
        A                             Bm    
To your soul as it floats out of the window.     
       G              D           A    
To the world that you turned your back on,     
       G              D               A    
To the world that never really let you be.     
     
     
     Bm             D    
I am lower now, and lower still,     
            G               D               A    
And you did always say that one day I would suffer,     
        G               D                A    
You did always say that people get their pay,     
        G               D             A    
You did always say that I was going places,     
             G                D         A    
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.     
     
     
      Bm                         D    
But I couldn't turn my back on a world,     
                         A    
For what I like wouldn't let me,     
      Bm                         D    
But i couldn't turn my back on a world,    
                   A     
For what I like anyday     
     
     
      Bm                         D    
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,    
                         A     
for what I like wouldn't let me    
      Bm                         D     
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,     
                 A    
for what I like I needed     
      Bm                      
And I shouldn't turn my back,    
     D                        A       D     A    
on a sweet smelling Blackberry Stone.
