[VERSE 1]
[Dm]She drifted from some minor [Gm]festival
[F]Didn't look like any summer of [Eb]love
[Eb]Just a thousand weekend [F]warriors [Gm]in a muddy field
[Dm]She was the hand to fit my [C]glove
[Bb]Funny thing, the [C]innocence of the [Dsus4]lonely
[Bb]Funny thing, the [C]charm of the [Dm]young
[VERSE 2]
[Dm]See how she moves just like two [Gm]angels (in white innocence)
[F]Yet one of them is on the [Eb]run
[Eb]The other's tap[F]ping at my car win[Gm]dow
[Dm]And I'm squinting through the [C]sun
[Bb]Trying to see if [C]she's some child of the [Dsus4]nineties
[Bb]Or just an[C]other dangerous fantasy of [Dsus4]mine
[Gm]Yeah. White innocence
[Gm]She was white innocence
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
[Am7] [Em7] [Dm7] [Bb] [D7sus4] [Am7] [Em7] [Dm7] [Bb] [D7sus4]
[VERSE 3]
[Dm]A perfect hole was in her [Gm]stocking:
[F]It made a perfect window to her [Eb]heart
[Eb]I could have m[F]oved among her w[Gm]aterfalls
[Dm]Her misty curtains drawn [C]apart
[Dm]Did she see warm safety in my [Gm]numbers
[F]To want to hitch a ride this [Eb]way?
[Eb] Felt like I was[F] taking her to market[Gm] now
[Dm]To be sold as the last lot of the d[C]ay
[Bb]Funny thing, the [C]distance of the [Dsus4]lonely
[Bb]Funny thing, the [C]charm of the [Dm]young
[Gm]White innocence
[VERSE 4]
[Dm]She pressed the button, lowered the wi[C]ndow
[F]Let her hand trail in the [C]slipstream of the [G]night
[F]A frost from nowhere seemed to [C]lick her fingers
[Bb]I could have warmed them, but the [C]moment wasn't [Dm]right
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
[Em] [G] [Em] [D] [D] [F] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb] [Db] [Ab]
[VERSE 5]
[Dm]Obvious, she was headed nowhere spe[C]cial
[F]Yes, well it was even obvious [C]to [G]me
[F]I was doing some, some watching, s[C]ome waiting
[Bb]She'd been here before, most [C]definit[Dm]ely
[VERSE 6]
[Dm]There was the promise of early [Gm]bed-time
T[F]here was the promise of heaven on [Eb]earth
[Eb]Think I was [F]sending out low-voltage e[Gm]lectricity
[Dm]Played it right down for what it was [C]worth
[Dm]She turned and looked at me in [Gm]white innocence
[F]And with the clearest eyes of forever [Eb]grey
[Eb]She rested one small [F]hand for a [Gm]second on my knee:
[Dm]I stopped the car. She walked [C]away
[Bb]Funny thing, the [C]wisdom of the [Dsus4]lonely
[Bb]Funny thing, the [C]charm of the [Dm]young
Away you go [Gm]now
White innocence
