[Intro]
D  Bm  G  A
[Verse 1]
              D
She has her back to me at the kitchen sink
 Bm
I'm trying to read her mind, wondering
           G            A
What she doesn't say to anybody
       D
The laundry's folded, beds are made
      Bm
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
                 Em
But there's a glimmer in her brown eyes
      A
The ones she gave to me
       C             A
So I know we can both be shiny
[Instrumental]
D  Bm  G  A
[Verse 2]
     D
She calls on Sundays, checking in
     Bm
We talk about the weather again
     G                       A
It never changes, she wonders where the rain is
  D
Once in a while I catch a glimpse
           Bm
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
                 Em
But there's a glimmer in her brown eyes
     A
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
