[Verse 1]
B
All clear
B
Good Lord
B
Did well to be ignored
B
Your falling temperature
B
Like cooling kisses
B
All through your head
B
B made-up water's edge
B
B summer gone on tabling fabled blisses
[Chorus]
E F# B
And I'd love to see you waving
E F# B
From the far side of the swim
E F# B E F# B
Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted
E F# B
Where colour field meets canvas
Where colour field meets canvas
E F# B
And the picture breathes you in
E F# B G#m B
Where all the stories meant for you have already started
E C#m
[Bridge]
B
Bright girl, dead town
B
Walking tall but blown around
B
The secret chainmail gown of your father's blessing
B
Bright girl, dead town
B
Open mouths for miles around
B
I still see you keeping those dough boys guessing
[Chorus]
E F# B
And I'd love to see you waving
E F# B
From the far side of the swim
E F# B E F# B
Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted
E F# B
Where colour field meets canvas
E F# B
And the picture breathes you in

Where all the stories meant for you have already started
