Amelia

[Intro]
 
G# E B Gdim7 G# A B
G# E B Gdim7 G# A B
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G# E      B Gdim7      G#      A         B
Amelia dances with the shadows along her floor
G#   E      B Gdim7             G#       A       B
she hangs a silhouette like art on the bedroom door
D#7          C#m7        Dmaj7 A              Am
quietly, she whispers a prayer to her ceiling fan
   E      B/D#   Cdim7 C#m7
oh Amelia dances all alone
Bb7             Am
until the world unfolds itself
E D A E D A D#7
again...
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G# E    B     Gdim7      G#           A      B
Amelia paces through the halls in the empty rooms
G#  E      B   Gdim7      G#              A     B
She drinks the morning in alone with some apple juice
D#7                C#m7          Dmaj7    A        Am
Why did things get so complicated in the midst of spring?
     E     B/D#  Cdim7    C#m7 Bb7              Am
Oh Amelia paces back and forth until the world recovers from this
E D A E D A
plague...
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C                       G                    B             C
Oh but Amelia dreams of ice cream stands and people in the street
    C                G                 B                C
And Amelia dreams of holding hands and sand beneath her feet
     C             G              B       Am
And Amelia wonders why we were so easy to defeat
           A
Was it something we
D# F G F C G F C G#aug
ate?
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A F      C G#dim7             A      A#     C
Amelia picks the dirty laundry from off her floor
A   F          C     G#dim7     A          A#     C
She moves the welcome mat from under her bedroom door
E7                Dm7         D#maj7 A#           C
Quietly she washes the dishes, cleans the bathroom too
      F          C/E          C#dim7    Dm7 B7   A#m
Oh Amelia takes it day by day, until the world can tell us what to
F D# A#
do
F D# A#
Amelia,
F D# A#
who--oh,
F D# A#
