Sophia – Nerina Pallot
Tabbed this beautiful song out finally. Wish I could write out the fills and random
she plays too but that'd be too complicated. Might upload a video of me playing it if i get
enough on youtube, same username (cherrui) look out for it! hope it works for you! :)
Intro: | D/G | A | [just the notes, octave apart: C#, D] | x2
[Verse 1]
D A
5 O'Clock and a fire escape symphony
D A
Spilling out across the road and the square
D A
And the sky's the same as your own do you think of me
D/G A
Do the parks and trees and leaves reach you there
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D D7/C G
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me
Bflat C Dm C
Calling out, again and again
[Chorus]
G D Bm A
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
G D Bm A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out
G D Bm A G
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without
B flat C
And one of them, is him

[Verse 2]
D/G A
And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town,
D/G A
Learn the language, form the words when I speak,
D A
But he changed me; I'm his ghost since he came around,
G A
And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
Passion and silence,
D7/C G
Every word, every line, a measure,
B flat C D
It's the science of the soul,
D7/C G
And his books, they breathe a reason
B flat C Dm C
And now I want to know
[Chorus]
G D Bm A
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
G D Bm A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out
G D Bm A G
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without
B flat C
And one of them, is him
[Bridge]
G D
And you, with your new born eyes,
Am7/C A
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?
G D Bm A
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
G A
Oh, Sophia
G A
Sophia
[Chorus]
G D Bm A
Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning
G D Bm A
It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out
G D Bm A G
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things I can't go without
B flat C D
I can’t go without him
