Chords

* = Single Strum [Verse 1]

C
High rise, veins of the avenue

                                     Am
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue.

Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you.

C
 Street lights glisten on the boulevard.

                                     Am
And cold nights make staying alert so hard.

                                                         F
For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard.

                                                 Dm
Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay.

F            G                      C
Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away?

[Verse 2]

C
Small town hearts of the New Year

                              Am
Brought down by gravity crystal clear.

Am
City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier.

C
Make hast, I feel your heartbeat

                                     Am
With new taste for speed, out on the street.

Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet.

F                                                        Dm
The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow.

F                       G                      C
The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know.

[Chorus]

C
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes

Am
And tell me when it rains

F
And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you

Dm                        G
And shoot it through your veins.

C
Cause your heart has a lack of color.

Am
And we should’ve known

Dm
That we’d grow up sooner or later

F               G                  C
Cause we wasted all our free time alone.

[Break] C Am C Am [Verse 3]

C
Your nerves gather with the altitude

                                     Am
Exhale the stress so you don’t come unglued.

Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood.

C
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway

The high tide could take me so far away.

Am
VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day

F                                                             Dm
A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age.

      F                   G                     Am
Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align.

[Bridge]

Am           G/B      C
 We were the crashing whitecaps.

F
On the ocean (on the ocean).

Dm            G            Eb   Bb  F
What a lovely seaside holiday, away.

F               G         Am
A palm tree in Christmas lights.

Am
My emotion.

F                  G               Dm
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone.

F               G      C
As we spent the day alone.

[Break] C Am Dm F [Chorus]

C
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes

Am
And tell me when it rains

F
And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you

Dm                        G
And shoot it through your veins.

C
Cause your heart has a lack of color.

Am
And we should’ve known

Dm
That we’d grow up sooner or later

F               G                  C
Cause we wasted all our free time alone.
