capo 2


 C
I wanna go outside and write your name 
    G                                F
In sunlight on the backs of both my eyes 
                      C
I hope you're not surprised

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

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

     Em             F                C
And then behind my eyelids I'm with you 
  Em              F               C
Imagining the things we're gonna do
     Em            F                   C 
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue 
     Em               F                 C
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
