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

And the picture breathes you in
