Verse 1:
C                              F            G              C
How many times have you opened up this skull with your delicate stone
C             F                 G           C
Laughed while my blood splashes down to the ground
C             F G               C
She drinks me up like a parched old bone
C                   F    G                           F      C
I curse you for the pain and thank you for making me whole again

Chorus 1:
C G/B F           G
I am hopelessly, shamelessly
C   G/B  Am
Anointed with you
F            G           F       Fm        C
There's no escaping your... your beautiful blue

Verse 2:
C              F               G                    C
The wind blows hot on my flesh scented with jasmine and roses
C            F    G                     C
Ringing with bells and the flutter of a hummingbird
C         F    G                    C
You go to speak but the wind blows away your words
C                   F    G                  F       C
And from your sweet mouth so many beautiful colours swirl

Chorus 2:
C G/B F          G
I am hopelessly, shamelessly
C    G/B      Am
Anointed with you
F            G           F       Fm        Am
There's no escaping your... your beautiful blue
F    Fm        Am
Your beautiful blue

Verse 3:
C         F                   G              C
Into your blood-stained hands, a white eagle feather descends
C          F           G           F    C
And all creation sings, and I am remembering

Chorus 3:
C G/B F          G
I am hopelessly, shamelessly
C    G/B      Am
Anointed with you
F            G           F       Fm        Am
There's no escaping your... your beautiful blue
F    Fm        C
Your beautiful blue
