from the album 'Whirligig'
Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann CGAmC
Before our eyes there are a million things we haven't tried
FDm
They'll get here in the morning
AmG
They're just around the corner
CGAmC
It can be hard when we're all blanketed by the cold and dark
FDm
We're waiting for the sun
AmG
We've got a smile to warm us
PRE-CHORUS:
AmC
Cause lately, everything's so heavy
FEmAmF
I just want the trick that makes me laugh just for fun
DmG
Because we're not too old and we're not too young
CEm
We've got rainbows in our eyes
AmCF
Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass
Dm
Just to get a laugh
FG
We fly by in a blink of their eye
So I made myself a stern face with a cast of clay
I didn't have the knack
You made a joke and it just cracked
And I watched as all the serious bits flew across the floor
Now I'm a different fella
I paint the pieces pretty colours
PRE-CHORUS:
Lately everyone's so honest
I just want the white lie as it shines in the coal
Because we're not too young and we're not too old
CHORUS:
We've got rainbows in our eyes
Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass
Just to get a laugh
We fly by in a blink of their eye
We've got sunshine in our pockets
Throw it around the room to cheer the cold dark night
With the speed of light
We fly by in a blink of their eye
AmEmFG
And I sang with my head in the dark clouds
AmEmF
But now I sing about the small good things
F#dim
Darling here comes Spring
G
I'll race you there
