Em-----------------------G

She started a blaze from one tiny spark

C--------------------(opening 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)--------------------(opening riff) To think that it fell from my hand

She gave me ideas

Planted the seed

But she never stopped to reflect

The course that she?s on, wherever it leads

I never would redirect

Pebbles and marbles like words from a friend

Make us hold tight but are lost in the end

When we're alone we all seem to tend

If we find a marble in dust

To wish someone left it for us
