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