Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I wanna go outside and write your name

In sunlight on the backs of both my eyes

I hope you're not surprised

When I use my scarred retinas to

stare your scrawled and cursive name

onto the dusty surfaces of

things I used to love before you

It's hard but what can I do

And then I count the days before

Allowing both my retinas to heal

So I can see your face in perfect clarity

Oh I will see

Your face in front of me

And then behind 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

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
