Bedroom Eyes ~ The Skywriter
Beautiful song from the Embrace In Stereo EP
Chords
    Cadd9[x32033]
Cadd9/  B[x2x033]
   A7sus4[x02x33]
G        320033
Em7      022033
     G/F#[2x0033]
The little variation you can hear in the intro and 
throughout the song  on the Cadd9 and Cadd9/B chords 
is just lifting your little finger on and off the high E 
string in time 
Capo 3rd fret
Intro (picked first time through, then strummed): 
 Cadd9  Cadd9/ B   A7sus4   Gx2
Verse:
Cadd9I handed him a paper
Cadd9/B  
Thick white lines of vapour
A7sus4Will get that message throughG  
Cadd9He climbs into his airplane
Cadd9/B  
Speeds off from the start lane
A7sus4The praise is overdueG  
Chorus:
Em7Above this town from side to side
Cadd9The letters spreads out open wide
GHope she sees the writer in the skG/F#y
Em7But maybe it's a mindless plea
Cadd9My place on her scale is make believe
GI guess I've always been a bit naG/F#ïve
[Play intro through x1)
Verse:
The pilot makes a last spin
Heads off, disappearing
Into the blue and gray
The job for now is over
Feeling fairly sober
Although it's Saturday
Chorus:
The loneliness is such a weight
So sick of love he's paid to state
Humming Time Has Told Me by Nick Drake
Feels much too ashamed to say
Like vapour trails his heart turns gray
So afraid he too might fade away 
Outro: Just repeat the chorus chords and end on Em7
