C# G# F# F#m
verse 1
C#
You know the date on the
G# F# F#m
Oldest coin in your palm
C#
I know the names of the
Bbm F# F#m
Flowers along the back wall
Bbm F#
But I get afraid one of us is bluffing

The blooms they will fade and the

Change will amount to nothing

Nothing at all

The laundromat's funny

At two in the morning

Talking serious

While the colors bleed

While the colors bleed

While the colors bleed

But I get afraid of what I can' t define
C#
So I tally affections
Bbm G# F# F#m
Like nickels and dimes in your palm
C#
Like your palm in my palm

Laundromat parking lot

We focus on pulling our

Lights from our darknesses

We separate even though

We've got sparks

We separate even though
F# F#m
We've got sparks
