 C5
I wanna go outside and write your name 
    G5                                F5
In sunlight on the backs of both my eyes 
                      C5
I hope you're not surprised

  C5
When I use my scarred retinas to 
   C5
stare your scrawled and cursive name 
   C5
onto the dusty surfaces of
                 G5            F5
things I used to love before you 
                         C5
It's hard but what can I do

     C5
And then I count the days before 
    C5
Allowing both my retinas to heal 
  C5                                    G5
So I can see your face in perfect clarity 
           F5     
Oh I will see
                      C5
Your face in front of me

     E5             F5                C5
And then behind my eyelids I'm with you 
  E5              F5               C5
Imagining the things we're gonna do
     E5            F5                   C5 
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue 
     E5               F5                 C5
In fine and blinding summer light with you


I didn't even want to know your name 
Until the sunlight sparkled in your eyes 
It took me by surprise

And suddenly the paradigm 
Of thinking I was fine 
Was shifted into realising that I 
needed you all of the time

And when I close my eyelids I'm with you 
Imagining the things we're gonna do 
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue 
In fine and blinding summer light with you
