Capo 1
Intro: G D A
verse 1
G
I got myself good
And lost for words
D A G
I got a suitcase full of happily ever afters
G
The late orange light
A beginners guide

To when a perfect stranger didn't seem so hard to find
G
You only want to see
What's impossible
D A G
And I'm addicted to remembering like some idiot oracle

Bm A7
And I see you when
D
When you disappear down every street
Bm A7
And I hear you when

When you turn and talk in your sleep

I can't call you out

When you're walking around in a silent movie

You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
Instrumental D A
verse 2
G
So we sit and stare
Into the glowing heads
D A G
Of the geniuses floating past us everywhere
G
Hide their dreams inside
Of a jewellery box
D A G
And every time I try to lift the lid the music stops
G
So we sleep right through
Every wake up call
D A G
Soon we'll straighten up and fly right into that coma wall
G

Just call it off

It's lighting up your night with precious worry

I can't call you out
