-VERSE 1-
Am E
I know, I know that I could live in
F E
Whatever house you choose to build
Am E
And I will model myself on it and
F E
Wait for you alone,
Am E
While you are out making a life for us
F E
I will stay and watch the days go past
Am E
And I'll see how the plants advance
F E
And they turn on what they know
-PRE-CHORUS-
F E Am C
Now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown
F E Am
They have aerials they feed from me and they grow and grow
C
and grow
F E Am C
Now I am shifting into greenery now the pipes are running bone
F E Am E
And you might think I was a house but I am a woman, a woman
-VERSE 2-
Am-E-F-E
"Come back, come back" before you said
"Come back so you can see
There are roses in the flowerbeds
Where there never used to be"
E-E7
-CHORUS-
F Am C
And all my days are
F G C
Fading into these
F Am C
Walls you made are us
F G C
But I don't want to be
E7
the queen
Am
in a century of sleep
-VERSE 3-
Am-E-F-E
I know, I know that I believe in
Whatever brings you joy from me
But I've swept until I couldn't sweep
And this house is still a lie
Now I have to find a dress, have to buy a dress
Have to sew the dress 'til the pieces mesh
And I don't think I'm ready yet
And I haven't got the time
-PRE-CHORUS-
F E Am C
Now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown
F E Am
They have aerials they feed from me and they grow and grow

And you might think I was a house but I am a woman, a woman
-BRIDGE-
F C
But you say, "don't be afraid"
Am G C
And you try to explain
Am G C F C
How the best that we can hope and hope to gain
Am G C
Is to love and then be loved
Am G C
Is to have and then to hold
Am G C
'Til we age and then grow old
E-E7
-CHORUS-
