"SOPHIA"
(Nerina Pallot)

Intro: D#-Bb-Gm-G# (2x) {or you can do it with just D#-Bb}

Verse 1:
Cm                      D#     Bb     (Gm-G#)
5 o' clock and a fire escape symphony,
         Cm                      D#   Bb    (Gm-G#)
Spilling out across the road and the square,
        Cm                             D#    Bb        (Gm-G#)
And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?
       Cm                        D#                  Bb
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves, reach you, there?

Refrain 1:
           D#          Bbm              G#                G#m
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out,
  Bb        B   Bb
Again and again.

Chorus:
   Cm       D#         G#          Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning.
        G#           Cm       G#         Bb
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
   G#       D#          Cm            Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
          G#           G#m            Bb
I can't go without and one of them is him.

(Do the Verse 1 chords)
And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my hometown,
Learn the language, form the words when I speak,
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around,
And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks.

Refrain 2:
               D#
Passion and silence,
       Bbm                  G#
Every word, every line, a measure,
          G#m    Bb        D#
It's the science of the soul,
            Bbm                 G#        G#m  Bb    
    B
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I want to know...

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
    D#
And you, with your new born eyes,
              Bbm               G#
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?
        D#                  Bb         G#      Bb
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
G#      D#      D#  (G#-Bb)
Oh, Sophia, Sophia.

Chorus 2:
   Cm       D#         G#          Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning.
        G#           Cm       G#         Bb
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
   G#       D#          Cm            Bb
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
          G#
I can't go without
G# G#m   Bb          D#
I can't go without him
