[Intro]
D  Bm  G  A
[Verse 1]
She has her baDck to me at the kitchen sink
IBm'm trying to read her mind, wondering
What she doGesn't say to Aanybody
The lauDndry's folded, beds are made
It's lBmike this every single day
It's memGorized, but a thAin disguise
[Chorus]
EmI see what she cAan't see
Her light onDly ever lanBmded on me
But there's a gliEmmmer in her brown eyes
The onAes she gave to me
So I knCow we can both Abe shiny
[Instrumental]
D  Bm  G  A
[Verse 2]
She cDalls on Sundays, checking in
We taBmlk about the weather again
It neGver changes, she wonders Awhere the rain is
OnDce in a while I catch a glimpse
Of the trueBmst things that she keeps hidden
Her secGret heart, that's my favAorite part
[Chorus]
I sEmee what she can't Asee
Her light onDly ever landBming on me
But there's a gliEmmmer in her brown eyes
The oAnes she gave to me
So I knCow we can boAth be shEminyA, shDinyBm  
All that gliEmtters isn't gold, but goAld is all I see
So I knCow we can bAoth be shDiny

[Intro]

D Bm G A

[Verse 1]

She has her back to me at the kitchen sink

I'm trying to read her mind, wondering

G A

What she doesn't say to anybody

The laundry's folded, beds are made

It's like this every single day

G A

It's memorized, but a thin disguise

[Chorus]

Em A

I see what she can't see

D Bm

Her light only ever landed on me

But there's a glimmer in her brown eyes

The ones she gave to me

C A

So I know we can both be shiny

[Instrumental]

D Bm G A

[Verse 2]

She calls on Sundays, checking in

We talk about the weather again

G A

It never changes, she wonders where the rain is

Once in a while I catch a glimpse

Of the truest things that she keeps hidden

G A

Her secret heart, that's my favorite part

[Chorus]

Em A

I see what she can't see

D Bm

Her light only ever landing on me

But there's a glimmer in her brown eyes

The ones she gave to me

C A Em A D Bm

So I know we can both be shiny, shiny

Em A

All that glitters isn't gold, but gold is all I see

C A D

So I know we can both be shiny
