The Universe Is Laughing

F

C                  F              Bb
October throws herself before my feet
         C               F
And the sky goes powder blue
    Bb        F        C
Holding her breath for me
   C               F           Bb
I never thought myself a city shoe
          C             F
But it's made of gold today
         Bb        F       C
And it breaks my heart in two

         Dm            A
Cause I want to hold onto it
             Bb         F
But there's nothing to hold
         Dm          A
And the universe is laughing
       Bb                         C
'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold

           C               F           Bb
We were listening to this city hum and hush
       C              F
Lying perfect in the dark
            Bb      F        C
I felt you tremble neath my touch
         C            F              Bb
Why's it everything I love I can't explain?
              C                F
Like if the world should disappear
      Bb    F      C
Only music will remain

      Dm             A
And I want to hold onto it
             Bb         F
But there's nothing to hold
         Dm          A
And the universe is laughing
       Bb                         C
'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold

(x2)

       Dm (hold)         A
And I want to hold onto it
             Bb         F
But there's nothing to hold
         Dm (hold)    A
And the universe is laughing
      Bb                          C
Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold

         Dm                         A
And the galaxies, the galaxies are howling
    Bb                                 F
The sun and moon, are tickled pink and gold
         Dm                      A
And the whole damn universe is laughing
     Bb                         C               C  F
And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfo-o-old
