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