[Verse 1]
C Dm
I come bearing gifts to myself,
C Dm
one-dollar coffee and a smoke for my health,
C Dm
walk around Fremantle at 9:00 am,
C Dm
doctor's appointment and then
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F Dm
a text to a friend with no reply,
F Dm
it's been a month and I don't know why
F G G
sunglasses on and sometimes a grey sky
[Chorus]
C Dm C Dm
is brighter than blue, it's brighter than blue.
C Dm C Dm Em
Does that mean anything to you?
[Verse 2]
C Dm
An old man in a white cap
C Dm
sings Bob Dylan on the street and I clap.

I've got no change and I feel bad,
C Dm
I slip away when he turns his back.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F Dm
Then walk to the Ferris wheel, its carriages are empty,
F Dm
they spin quicker when they feel less heavy.

I wish I could relate but sometimes a grey sky
[Chorus]

is brighter than blue, it's brighter than blue.

Does that mean anything to you?

C Dm
Now I'm back up the hill, there's no more presents,
C Dm
been filling my cup with the same old hesitance.
C Dm
You look ugly when you cry,
C Dm
face goes red and your mouth gets dry.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
F Dm
And no one likes it when you make a scene,
F Dm
you've been wasted, telling them how you've been.
F G G G
You don't even know why sometimes a grey sky
[End-Chorus]
C Dm C Dm
is brighter than blue, it's brighter than blue.

You can't see I say to you
