[Verse 1]
A                                            D        A
I could not release the inspiration till you asked me to
A                                             D   A
Came at your body relentlessly throughout the year
A                                D    A
Too far away to nearly show this honeymoon
A                                         D    A
I was a stranger too familiar and not enough

[Chorus]
            D                   F#m    C#m    Bm   A
But I once saw the touch of your velvet hand upon my face
    D           F#m       C#m     Bm     A
I recall velvet gloves and spit and your embrace
             E       F#m
And I wanted nothing else

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
A                                  D   A
The haunted hotel room the two bit man child
A                                          D     A
I could not simply fall asleep next to you every night
A                                D       A
Our castle in the sand built too high too soon
A                                           D
And under waving palms and waving sails and waves
    A
Goodbye

[Chorus 2]
            D                   F#m    C#m   Bm     A
But I once saw the touch of your velvet hand upon my face
    D           F#m       C#m    Bm    A
I recall velvet gloves and spit and your embrace
            D                   F#m    C#m    Bm   A
Oh I once saw the touch of your velvet hand upon my face
        D            F#m       C#m    Bm    A
And I recall velvet gloves and spit and your embrace
             E       F#m
And I wanted nothing else
