EmCan you imagine that; an Dsus4itch too sensitive to scratch,
The lEmight that falls through the cracks,

Into Gwaves of joy and clarity,
Your Dhands come out to rescue A7me,
And I'm plGaying in the shallow water,
LaDughing while the mad dog A7sleeps
[Chorus]
And I can't lookCadd9 up, finDgers of love move dEmown, Em7
And I won't be hCadd9elped,
FinDgers of love move eA7verywhere

From the cAsus4radle to the grave, from the paAlace to the gutter,
BeneAsus4ath the dying rays of the sunA, lie the fingers of lovEme
Em Dsus4 [x2]
[Verse 3]
Into waGves of joy and clarity,
A fDallen angel walked on the A7sea,
And I'm plGaying in the shallow water,
LaDughing while the mad dog A7sleeps
[Chorus]
And I can't lookCadd9 up, fiDngers of love move Emdown, Em7
And I won't be Cadd9helped,
