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
