Verse: Cm 
Jacqueline was seventeen
working on a desk when Ab 
Ivor
peered above a sBb

forgot that he had wrecked a girl.

Cm

eyes
forget the face they're Bb 
peering from
when the face they peer upon
G

that face as Cm 
I do.
And how in the reAb 
turn of the gaze
She can reBb 
turn you the face
That you are sCm 
taring from

We Eb 
need the Bb

find me and follow me
through corridors, refectories
and D

this academic factory
