[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]
A# C F
And I'd love to see you waving
A# C F
From the far side of the swim
A# C F A# C F
Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted
A# C F
Where colour field meets canvas
Where colour field meets canvas
A# C F
And the picture breathes you in
A# C F Dm F
Where all the stories meant for you have already started
A# Gm
[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]
A# C F
And I'd love to see you waving
A# C F
From the far side of the swim
A# C F A# C F
Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted

Where colour field meets canvas
A# C F
And the picture breathes you in

Where all the stories meant for you have already started
