[Verse]
BYou'll never F#hear this songG#m
You'll never see the F#movie in my headB F# G#m F#
But you inBfest my F#sleep, and your G#mfigure F#creeps
Through my Ewalls and F#hums above my G#mbedF#/A#
I Bknow your F#name, G#mand that you're photoF#genic and Btall
But I've F#never heard you G#mtalkF#
And there's Bsomething F#about you
G#mThat stabs me F#right through
[Pre-Chorus Interlude]
E F# G#m F#/A#
[Chorus]
It isn't EriG#mght for F#me to paint your picture
Every EniG#mght, but I F#do (I can't find sleep)
And it Efeels so G#mwrong (I breathe too deep), to F#sing this C#msong (into the sky)
But Emaybe (as I walk and sing), G#msomehow, you'll F#hear me (you'll hear a song)
And hum aBlong
F#You'll hum aG#mlong, F#you'll hum aElongF# G#m F#/A#
[Verse]
And I've Bonly seen you F#once, at your C#mgraduatiF#on
No Bcinematic F#glow or soft rock C#msoundtraF#ck
And I Bwatched you F#move and G#mbreatF#he and Ecry
And it F#felt so G#mwrongF#/A#
[Chorus]
It isn't EriG#mght for F#me to paint your picture
Every EniG#mght, but I F#do (I can't find sleep)
And it Efeels so G#mwrong (I breathe too deep), to F#sing this C#msong (into the sky)
But Emaybe (as I walk and sing), G#msomehow, you'll F#hear me (you'll hear a song)
And hum aBlong
[Bridge]
Maybe you'd be F#kidnapped by G#mpirates
And they would F#take you to their Ehideout
As F#pirates often G#mdo
But I'd F#/A#find the secret Bmap
And I would F#vigilante-G#mbushwhack
Through the F#jungles of PeEru
Just to G#msave you and I'd F#take you north to Mexico
Where you would Etell me your life G#mstory on the F#steps of a Mayan temple
Where we'd camEp singing G#mnonsense songs in F#12 bars to the jaguars, until you'd Esense me
Your eyes conG#mvincing, and I would F#kiss you like a hero in the Ehalf-light
Dryer G#msheets and peach shamF#poo, the smell of palm leaves, I'd C#msleep against Eyou
Until the G#mnatives found us, but F#they would crown us king and Equeen
And we could G#mstay there, spend our F#days there, eating C#mguava by the Esea
And I could G#munderstand your F#views and you could fall in love with me

[Verse]
B F# G#m
You'll never hear this song
F# B F# G#m F#
You'll never see the movie in my head
B F# G#m F#
But you infest my sleep, and your figure creeps
E F# G#m F#/A#
Through my walls and hums above my bed
B F# G#m F# B
I know your name, and that you're photogenic and tall
F# G#m F#
But I've never heard you talk
B F#
And there's something about you
G#m F#
That stabs me right through
[Pre-Chorus Interlude]
E F# G#m F#/A#
[Chorus]
E G#m F#
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
E G#m F#
Every night, but I do (I can't find sleep)
E G#m F# C#m
And it feels so wrong (I breathe too deep), to sing this song (into the sky)
E G#m F#
But maybe (as I walk and sing), somehow, you'll hear me (you'll hear a song)
B
And hum along
F# G#m F# E F# G#m F#/A#
You'll hum along, you'll hum along
[Verse]
B F# C#m F#
And I've only seen you once, at your graduation
B F# C#m F#
No cinematic glow or soft rock soundtrack
B F# G#m F# E
And I watched you move and breathe and cry
F# G#m F#/A#
And it felt so wrong
[Chorus]
E G#m F#
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
E G#m F#
Every night, but I do (I can't find sleep)
E G#m F# C#m
And it feels so wrong (I breathe too deep), to sing this song (into the sky)
E G#m F#
But maybe (as I walk and sing), somehow, you'll hear me (you'll hear a song)
B

[Bridge]
F# G#m
Maybe you'd be kidnapped by pirates
F# E
And they would take you to their hideout
F# G#m
As pirates often do
F#/A# B
But I'd find the secret map
F# G#m
And I would vigilante-bushwhack
F# E
Through the jungles of Peru
G#m F#
Just to save you and I'd take you north to Mexico
E G#m F#
Where you would tell me your life story on the steps of a Mayan temple
E G#m F# E
Where we'd camp singing nonsense songs in 12 bars to the jaguars, until you'd sense me
G#m F# E
Your eyes convincing, and I would kiss you like a hero in the half-light
G#m F# C#m E

G#m F# E
Until the natives found us, but they would crown us king and queen
