let's paint the city Eiffel tower green 
            F5
and go on a holiday, go on vacation
            C5
this is the closest that you've ever been, 
                    F5
but you're still so far away from your destination
             C5
you drive an hour but it feels like days, 
          F5
it's just buildings and buildings and buildings
             C5
and when you finally leave suburban haze 
               F5
you're quietly shocked at the thought that we kill things

we left a photograph in letterhead
             F5
found in the morning in newspaper sunlight
           C5
we left it lying on the kitchen chair
              F5
and when you found it we hope that it reads right
           C5
it's never easy when we write good-bye
                    F5
but good-bye is the one word we know
             C5
you'll never make it but we have to try
              F5
give in, give up, and let go 
F5
give up and let go

the black house, the blue sky (you and I)
G5                       F5
in the black house, the blue sky (the blue sky)

C5                    G5
the black house, the blue sky
                      F5
this black house, the blue sky
                     G5
the black house, the blue sky
                      F5 
this black house, the blue sky
F5
the blue sky (blue sky)

we left the ending locked inside that room
    F5
and you hold the key
         C5
you push open the door
    F5
and then you see

F5                               C5
you see the black house and the blue sky 
C5             F5
and you and I
                                C5
you see the black house and the blue sky 
C5             F5
and you and I
F5                               C5
you see the black house and the blue sky
