Capo 2 


 C 
I wanna go outside and write your name  
                                     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 
                              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                                     
So I can see your face in perfect clarity  
           F      
Oh I will see 
                      C 
Your face in front of me 

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