Bright eyes and subtle variations of Amblue.
Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you.
 CStreet lights glisten on the boulevard.
And cold nights make staying alert so Amhard.
For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off Fguard.
Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to Dmstay.

Brought down by gravity crystaAml clear.

CMake hast, I feel your heartbeat
With new taste for speed, out on the Amstreet.
Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet.
FThe silver sound is all around and the colors fall like sDmnow.

G/B

* = Single Strum

[Verse 1]

High rise, veins of the avenue

Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue.

Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you.

Street lights glisten on the boulevard.

And cold nights make staying alert so hard.

For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard.

Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay.

F G C

Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away?

[Verse 2]

Small town hearts of the New Year

Brought down by gravity crystal clear.

City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier.

Make hast, I feel your heartbeat

With new taste for speed, out on the street.

Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet.

F Dm

The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow.

F G C

The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know.

[Chorus]

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes

And tell me when it rains

And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you

Dm G

And shoot it through your veins.

Cause your heart has a lack of color.

And we should’ve known

That we’d grow up sooner or later

F G C

Cause we wasted all our free time alone.

[Break]

C Am C Am

[Verse 3]

Your nerves gather with the altitude

Exhale the stress so you don’t come unglued.

Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood.

Wide eyed, panic on the getaway

The high tide could take me so far away.

VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day

F Dm

A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age.

F G Am

Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align.

[Bridge]

Am G/B C

We were the crashing whitecaps.

On the ocean (on the ocean).

Dm G Eb Bb F

What a lovely seaside holiday, away.

F G Am

A palm tree in Christmas lights.

My emotion.

F G Dm

Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone.

F G C

As we spent the day alone.

[Break]

C Am Dm F

[Chorus]

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes

And tell me when it rains

And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you

Dm G

And shoot it through your veins.

Cause your heart has a lack of color.

And we should’ve known

That we’d grow up sooner or later

F G C

Cause we wasted all our free time alone.
