 G/// |  G/// |  C////
[Verse 1]
GI glued back together the broken pieces of a vase you found
Out Amback of some old abandoned church in a town I don't remember the name
In the Gmiddle of May when you came to meet my family
And we wrecked Amblueberries into buckets, and I drove reckless in the rain
And it wasn't the Gslightest bit romantic
I guess that's what makes it sAmo
[Chorus]
 GUp on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sAmea
 GOpen my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speAmak
[Verse 2]
GSitting on a window, a bluebird on it, nothing in it
There's a pAmiece we never found
And so to Gput it into words, I can't put into words
No, I can'Amt say it, how much you mean to me
[Chorus]
 GUp on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sAmea
 GOpen my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speAmak
 GThere's something in your eyes, a secret I must keAmep
 GLike trying to describe impossibiliAmty
[Instrumental]

GSome might say "euphoric"
When a smAmile grows across your face
Like Dpieces of a broken vase
AmEverything falls Dinto plGace

[Verse 1]

I glued back together the broken pieces of a vase you found

Out back of some old abandoned church in a town I don't remember the name

In the middle of May when you came to meet my family

And we wrecked blueberries into buckets, and I drove reckless in the rain

And it wasn't the slightest bit romantic

I guess that's what makes it so

[Chorus]

G Am

Up on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sea

G Am

Open my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speak

[Verse 2]

Sitting on a window, a bluebird on it, nothing in it

There's a piece we never found

And so to put it into words, I can't put into words

No, I can't say it, how much you mean to me

[Chorus]

G Am

Up on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sea

G Am

Open my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speak

G Am

There's something in your eyes, a secret I must keep

G Am

Like trying to describe impossibility
