C G Am C
Before our eyes there are a million things we haven't tried
F Dm
They'll get here in the morning
Am G
They're just around the corner
C G Am C
It can be hard when we're all blanketed by the cold and dark
F Dm
We're waiting for the sun
Am G
We've got a smile to warm us
PRE-CHORUS:
Am C
Cause lately, everything's so heavy
F Em Am F
I just want the trick that makes me laugh just for fun
Dm G
Because we're not too old and we're not too young
C Em
We've got rainbows in our eyes
Am C F
Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass
Dm
Just to get a laugh
F G
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
Am Em F G
And I sang with my head in the dark clouds
Am Em F
But now I sing about the small good things
F#dim
Darling here comes Spring
G
I'll race you there
REPEAT BOTH CHORUSES
(End on C chord)
