-VERSE 1-

   Am                 E
I know, I know that I could live in
F     E
Whatever house you choose to build
       Am E
And I will model myself on it and
F   E
Wait for you alone, 

Am        E
While you are out making a life for us
F E
I will stay and watch the days go past
Am E
And I'll see how the plants advance 
F E
And they turn on what they know



-PRE-CHORUS-

     F E Am      C
Now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown
F E Am
They have aerials they feed from me and they grow and grow 
C
and grow
F E Am C
Now I am shifting into greenery now the pipes are running bone 
F E Am E
And you might think I was a house but I am a woman, a woman   


-VERSE 2-

Am-E-F-E
"Come back, come back" before you said
"Come back so you can see
There are roses in the flowerbeds 
Where there never used to be"

E-E7

-CHORUS-

F Am C
And all my days are   
F G C
Fading into these      
F Am C
Walls you made are us
F G C
But I don't want to be
E7
the queen
Am
in a century of sleep   



-VERSE 3-

Am-E-F-E
I know, I know that I believe in
Whatever brings you joy from me
But I've swept until I couldn't sweep
And this house is still a lie
Now I have to find a dress, have to buy a dress
Have to sew the dress 'til the pieces mesh
And I don't think I'm ready yet 
And I haven't got the time



-PRE-CHORUS-

     F E Am      C
Now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown
F E Am
They have aerials they feed from me and they grow and grow 
C
and grow
F E Am C
Now I am shifting into greenery now the pipes are running bone 
F E Am E
And you might think I was a house but I am a woman, a woman   



-BRIDGE-
F C
But you say, "don't be afraid"   
Am G C
And you try to explain       
Am G C F C
How the best that we can hope and hope to gain
 
Am G C
Is to love and then be loved   
Am G C
Is to have and then to hold
Am G C
'Til we age and then grow old

E-E7


-CHORUS-
F Am C
And all my days are   
F G C
Fading into these      
F Am C
Walls you made are us
F G C
But I don't want to be


F Am C
And all my days are   
F G C
Fading into these      
F Am C
Walls you made are us
F G C
But I don't want to be
E7
the queen
F
in a century of sleep   



-END-

F C
But I know that I believe   
F C
In whatever makes you pleased 
F C
In whatever brings you joy
F C
From me
