Em                       G
She started a blaze from one tiny spark
C                    (main riff)
I didn't even detect
Em                       D
She loved the light, was dismayed by the dark
G                                 A
The stars though she seemed to respect

    A                            Em
The faint light that flutters at night to the earth
G                             D
Would land in her eyes and collect
A                        Em
Luminous creatures she'd find in the surf
G                     D
I never thought to inspect

A                        Em
Pebbles and marbles like things on my mind
G                    D
Seem to get lost and harder to find
A               Em
When I am alone I am inclined
G                     D
If I find a pebble in sand
Cmaj7 (x32000)                   (main riff 2x + half of next phrase, stop at Bm/D)
To think that it fell from my hand
     

 

Em                 G
She gave me ideas, planted the seed

C                               (main riff)
But she never stopped to reflect

Em                            D
The course that she’s on, wherever it leads

G                  A
I never would redirect

A                        Em
Pebbles and marbles like words from a friend

G                          D
Make us hold tight but are lost in the end

A                   Em
When we're alone we all seem to tend

G                      D
If we find a marble in dust

Cmaj7 (x32000)                     
To wish someone left it for us

 

A                        Em
Pebbles and marbles like things on my mind
G                    D
Seem to get lost and harder to find
A               Em
When I am alone I am inclined
G                     D
If I find a pebble in sand
Cmaj7 (x32000)
To think that it fell from my hand

A                        Em                     G   D

Pebbles and marbles like things on my mind (x2)

 

4x: Cmaj7    Em  Em(no G) Em/G#
