[intro]

F#5       E6(9)   Dmaj7      E6(9)
  Today I am    a small blue thing
F#5      E6(9)         Dmaj7  E6(9)
  Like a marble or an eye
        F#5              E6(9)      Dmaj7      E6(9)
With my knees against my mouth, I am perfectly round
F#5   E6(9)    Dmaj7  E6(9)
  I am watching you

G(add#4) A                 G(add#4)      A
  I  am  cold against your skin, you are perfectly
    G(add#4)     A                G(add#4)     A
reflected;  I am lost inside your pocket, I am lost against your
Bm9            C#m7               Dmaj7      C#m7
fingers;  I am falling down the stairs, I am skipping on the
Bm9             C#m7                Dmaj7    C#m7
sidewalk;  I am thrown against the sky, I am raining down in
Bm9/A         C#m7(4)/B       Bm9/A  C#m7(4)/B
pieces;  I am scattering like light, scattering like
Am9/G  Bm7(4)/A        Am9/G   Bm7(4)/A   Bm7(4)/A [single note, held]
light, scattering like light

Today I am a small blue thing
Made of china, made of glass
I am cool and smooth and curious, I never blink
I am turning in your hand, turning in your hand
[4 extra bars: E5 D6(9) Cmaj7 D6(9)]

I am cold against your skin, you are perfectly
reflected;  I am lost inside your pocket, I am lost against your
fingers;  I am falling down the stairs, I am skipping on the
sidewalk;  I am thrown against the sky, I am raining down in
pieces;  I am scattering like light, scattering like
light, scattering like light

Today I am a small blue thing
Like a marble or an eye
I am cool and smooth and curious, I never blink
I am turning in your hand, turning in your
F#5    E6(9)           Dmaj7   E6(9)
hand;  turning in your hand,   small blue
F#5     E6(9)           Dmaj7  E6(9)
thing;  turning in your hand
F#5 E6(9)           Dmaj7   E6(9)   F#5.
    Turning in your hand
