[C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[G] [F] [G]
It took [C]forty days and forty [Em]nights
To g[Am]et myself feeling [C]right
The [F]desert in my head was [C]dry as a [G]bone
I followed [C]breadcrumb trails and [Em]Christmas lights
Street [Am]signs and s[C]atellites
Even s[F]houted your name through a [C]cheap [G]megaphone
'Cause you [F]burn like something that [G]burns
And you [C]sing like some[Em]thing that [Am]sings[C]
There are [F]no words to des[G]cribe such a beautiful [C]thing[Em][F][G]
I [C]crawled my way through [Em]empty streets
Over [Am]parking lots and movie [G]seats
Picking [F]up clues in the t[C]hreads of my [G]coat
I found a [C]letter from my future [Em]self
And t[Am]rue to form, it was l[C]ittle help
'Cause [F]these useless lines w[C]ere all that I [G]wrote
You [F]shine like something that [G]shines
And you [C]ring like somet[Em]hing that r[Am]ings[C]
There ar[F]e no words to des[G]cribe such a beautiful t[C]hing
Interlude: Dm C F C Dm C F C Dm C F G F C G
[C]Finally I [Em]caught a break
A [F]treasure map in a [C]birthday cake
Two [F]crossing lines r[C]evealed you to [G]me
And s[C]tanding by your b[Em]edroom door
I k[Am]nocked three times and t[G]hen once more
'Cause [F]I knew that luck was but o[C]ne thing I'd [G]need
'Cause you [F]burn like something that [G]burns
And you s[C]ing like some[Em]thing that s[Am]ings[C]
There [F]are no words to [G]describe such a beautiful [C]thing
