C5                      G5
Patiently, I've waited patiently
       A5         F5          G5
Hoping that you'd believe
C5        G5            A5
That the lights in our eyes
                F5         G5
Are not fading out

They're not yet fading out
Somehow we're safe and sound
Like the glow off the shore
We will hurry

C5                  F5
What could I ever do?
C5               G5
What could I say?
C5                     F5
To cover up my concerns?
C5                  G5
To keep them at bay?

C5              F5
Oh, then she said,
C5                                G5
"You spend too much time in your head"
C5                 F5
What could I ever do?
C5                   G5
What could I say so carefully?

Carefully, I followed carefully
Too scared of a scraped knee
So I wait on the sand
With her Coppertone

Yeah, she put on Coppertone
And went out there all alone
Never one to be scared or to worry

What could I ever do?
What could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?

Oh, then she said,
"You spend too much time in your head"
What could I ever do?
What could I say so carefully?

What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?

Oh, then she said,
"You spend too much time in your head"
What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say so carefully?

(instrumental)

What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say?
To cover up my concerns?
To keep them at bay?

Oh, then she said,
"You spend too much time in your head"
What could I ever do?
Oh, what could I say so carefully?
