Daylight
View chords used in this chart
D
We cut the legs off of our pants
A
Threw our shoes into the ocean
F#
Sit back and wave through the daylight
E
Sit back and wave through the daylight
D
Slip and slide on subway grates
A
These shoes are poor mans ice skates
F#
Fall through like change in the daylight
E
Fall through like change in the daylight
I miss yellow lines in my roads
Some color on monochrome
Maybe I'll paint them in myself
Maybe I'll paint them in myself
These sidewalks liquid then stone
Building walls and an old pay phone
It rings like all through the daylight
It rings like all through the daylight
D A
And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine
F# E
I hope that someday I'll see without these frames
D A
And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone
F# E
'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
I have five clocks in my life
And only one has the time right
I'll just unplug it for today
I'll just unplug it for today
Open hydrant rolled down windows
This car might make a good old boat
And float down grand street in daylight
And float down grand street in daylight
And with just half of a sunburn
New yellow lines that I earned
Step back and here comes the night time
Step back and here comes the night time
And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine
I hope that someday I'll see without these frames
And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone
'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
