C Dm C F
G  F   G
It took Cforty days and forty Emnights
To gAmet myself feeling Cright
The Fdesert in my head was Cdry as a Gbone
I followed Cbreadcrumb trails and EmChristmas lights
Street Amsigns and sCatellites
Even sFhouted your name through a Ccheap Gmegaphone
'Cause you Fburn like something that Gburns
And you Csing like someEmthing that AmsingsC  
There are Fno words to desGcribe such a beautiful CthingEm  F  G  
I Ccrawled my way through Emempty streets
Over Amparking lots and movie Gseats
Picking Fup clues in the tChreads of my Gcoat
I found a Cletter from my future Emself
And tAmrue to form, it was lCittle help
'Cause Fthese useless lines wCere all that I Gwrote
You Fshine like something that Gshines
And you Cring like sometEmhing that rAmingsC  
There arFe no words to desGcribe such a beautiful tChing
Interlude:  Dm   C   F   C   Dm   C   F   C   Dm   C   F   G   F   C  G  
CFinally I Emcaught a break
A Ftreasure map in a Cbirthday cake
Two Fcrossing lines rCevealed you to Gme
And sCtanding by your bEmedroom door
I kAmnocked three times and tGhen once more
'Cause FI knew that luck was but oCne thing I'd Gneed
'Cause you Fburn like something that Gburns
And you sCing like someEmthing that sAmingsC  
There Fare no words to Gdescribe such a beautiful Cthing
