G
My brown eyes, two pools of mud
EmDG
Resting in two dark moons, they turn the tide into a flood
EmG
And the bloodshot lines in the whites map every A road in this town,
EmDG
All the glare of the city lights, every cul de sac we've talked down
GEm
Over time they build up the city, and our arguments show it all
GEm
Every ring road, every motorway, displayed in crease and wrinkle

Until my face is a map you have folded up one hundred, one thousand times.
EmGCG
You know it starts pretty rough and ends up even worse,
EmGCG
And what goes on in between, I try to keep it out of my thoughts
G
Your blue eyes are like the deepest and the warmest seas
EmDG
As the salt elevates my body, they float my heart up past my teeth
EmG
And with the water and the Cypriot sun, would your psoriasis bleach and be gone?
EmDG
Would it fix the pallor of my skin? Would my freckles all meld into one?
GEm
Your body above me, sobbing down, my cheeks wet from your tears
GEm
They extinguish each of the burning thread veins, flow down to my ears
CD
Now they rest in two tiny reservoirs that overfed the wedded canals
EmGCG
You know it starts pretty rough and ends up even worse,
EmGCG
And what goes on in between, I try to keep it out of my thoughts
Break: Am C G Em Am C Em G Am C G Em Am C Em G
CEmG
And life, life is a long time, too long to my mind, too long by far
EmDEmG
Between my waterfalls and your landslides, there's cartography in every scar
CEmG
Life, life is a long time, too long to my mind, too long by far
EmGCG
Because it starts pretty rough and ends up even worse,
EmGCG
And what goes on in between, I try to keep it out of my thoughts
EmGCG
You know it starts pretty rough and ends up even worse,
EmGCG
And what goes on in between, I try to keep it out of my thoughts
