Verse 1
It's a [Em/e]wide world [Em/f#]out there,
so much [Em/g]wider than im[Asus2]-agined
I [G]can't quite put my [Asus2]finger on the [Em/b]pulse [C]
Of your [Em/e]heart softly [Em/f#]beating
Just be[Em/g]neath the raw silk [Asus2]sheen
That re[C]flects the tints of [G]autumn from the [Asus2]hills [C]

Chorus
So [Am]punch my name [a b a g]
and in [Bm]case you [Em]wonder [notes d e g]
[G]I'll be [D]yours, [Em]
Yours, [G]dot [Asus2]com

Execu[Em/e]tive accommo[Em/f#]dation
Bland but [Em/g]nonetheless a[Asus2]ppealing
Wai[G]ters discretely [Asus2]at your beck and [Em/b]call [C]
Place the [Em/e]tall sun-down [Em/f#]potion
Lightly [Em/g]by your velvet [Asus2]elbow
While [C]you compose a [G]message on the [Asus2]wall [C]

* bend 10 up to the 12


With your hand made leather valise
Packed and ready, ready waiting
Showered and dressed down lightly for the heat'
Give a clue: leave a kind word
Hint as to a destination
A domain where our cyber-souls might meet.
