Fifth Element. WORDS AND MUSIC BY TONY CHAPMAN.
Copywrighted SEPTEMBER 1997
Inst: G A C Eb C# G - G , D, C, G
D, C, G, D, Em , C, G

G D C G
heartbeat, blood go, breath fill, soul know
D C G D Em C
fire burn, air blow, earth be solid, water flow
G C F C G
from beneath your dress flew a coal-black dove

fifth ele - ment is love ------------------------------------

lips tease, hands grip, hips press, tongue lick
fire burn, air blow, earth be solid, water flow
all you wore was one lace glove
fifth element is love

Em7 C G
she lived on the same street, boutique under her window
Em7 C G
scar down her cheek, smell of roses and moonglow
D C G D C G
we made love and I thought that was all, did not see her coming
D C G D C G
when she smiled she seemed to sneer, when she laughed that was really something
A C
she wore a pink summer dress, unlikely but it took my breath
A C9 D
and she educated, professional and all

feet move, arms fly, voice sing, eyes cry
fire burn, air blow, earth be solid, water flow
you appeared like an angel in the sky above
fifth element is love, love, love, love, love, love, love , love, love, love.

(Inst.)

I stopped at the edge, you gave me a shove...
