VERSE 1
[C]High rise, veins of the avenue
[C]Bright eyes and subtle variations of [Am]blue.
[Am]Everywhere balanced there like a [F]rainbow above you.
[C]Street lights glisten on the boulevard.
[C]And cold nights make staying alert so [Am]hard.
[Am]For heaven's sake, keep me awake so I won't be caught [F]off guard.
[F]Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a place t[Dm]o stay.
[Dm]Dear pacific day, won't you take m[C]e away?
VERSE 2
[C]Small town hearts of the New Year
[C]Brought down by gravity crystal [Am]clear.
[Am]City fog and brave dialogue converge on the [C]frontier.
[C]Make hast, I feel your heartbeat
[C]With new taste for speed, out on the s[Am]treet.
[Am]Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes m[F]eet.
[F]The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like s[Dm]now.
[Dm]The feeling of letting go, I guess we'll never know.[C]
[C]Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
[Am]And tell me then it rains
[F]And I'll blend up that rainbow above you
[G]And shoot it through your veins.
CHORUS
[C]Cause your heart has a lack of color.
[Am]And we should've known
[F]That we'd grow up sooner or later
[G]Cause we wasted all our free time [C]alone.
BREAK
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]
VERSE 3
[C]Your nerves gather with the altitude
[C]Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued.[Am]
[Am]Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood.
[C]Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
[C]The high tide could take me so far away.[Am]
[Am]VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day[F]
[F]A popular gauge will measure the range of the new Post-Modern Age.[Dm]
[Dm]Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align.[C]
BRIDGE
[C]We were the crashing whitecaps.
[Am]On the ocean (on the ocean).
[Dm]What a lovely seaside holi[C]day, a[Bb]way.
[F]A palm tree in Christmas lights.[Am]
[Am]My emotion.
[F]Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone.[Dm]
[Dm]As we spent the day al[C]one.
BREAK
[C] [Am] [Dm] [F]
