<< Back to Bright Eyes Song List
Version 1
            [Verse 1]
           Bb               D     Gm     Eb           Bb
The city shines, a silver street lamp glistens in the snow
       Gm                Cm               F
Shiver as I’m walking by just knowing what I know
  D          Gm          A    Dm      Eb        Cm
I guess this wild wanderlust just got out of control
Bb              Gm         Eb               F      Gbm
Wish I could apologize and come in from the cold


[Refrain]
 Gm                        Dm
"Where are you going?" or "Where you've been?"
 Eb                             F
Questions that you’ll never ask again


[Verse 2]
Bb                   F       Gm    Eb      Bb
I heard the words, I took my turn, another eulogy
                D      Gm      Cm                F
Not sure I can hang if this is how it’s going to be
Gm            A           Dm   Eb              Cm
We reminisce on innocence then plunge into the sea
G#        Bb           D      Gm     Eb    F
The Super 8 keeps flickering with choppy memories


[Refrain]
Ebm                             Bb
Spent decades in search of what meant so much to you
     Ebm                                   F
Then sold the whole collection because the rent was due


Bb Gm Eb Cm F


[Verse 3]
    Bb             C        D        Gm    Eb            Bb
You clenched your fist and threw the dish and called me Peter Pan
                    Gm            Cm         F
Your aim’s not very accurate and I thank God for that
Gm                  A          Dm      Eb        Cm
Although I told you many times I’m not much of a man
D   Bb             D         Gm       Eb          F
You held out hope believing that at least I might pretend

D

[Chorus]
Gm                     F
Vacuumed up all of the fairy dust
Eb                   A      D
Held Savasana on the floor
Gm                             Dm
Just felt like dying when you thought of us
     Eb                                 F
You clapped your hands and hoped for an encore


[Refrain]
Ebm                       Bb
So young and sunburnt, we walked on an empty beach
    Ebm                       F
The surface was so shiny with nothing underneath


Em  C Eb Ebm Dm Cm F


[Verse 4]
Bb                    D                     Eb              Bb
There’s tulips in the wheelbarrow, there’s cherries in the tree
                       D       Gm        Cm      F
There’s a comet in the sky at least one night a century
D     Gm          A               Eb                Cm
And I will always wait for you if you will wait for me
Bb     D       Gm         Eb                 F
Like a baby or apocalypse that we will never see


[Chorus 2]
Ebm                Bb
Little infant in a plastic box
Ebm                Bb
Shedding incubator tears
Ebm         Eb              Bb
She doesn’t know yet what a comet does
Ebm                             F
You’re approaching, even as you disappear


Bb Gb Gm Eb Cm Bb F Bb Gm Eb Cm F Bb Db Gb


[Chopped Outro]

We used to have these, like, bands

There were thousands of them

Maybe you're alone, maybe you're not

Doesn't always matter

(Consider the source)

Sorry baby, I was dreaming of you

You were in my dreams

You want me? (I need you)

Yes, I love you

How much you love me, man?

(I do not talk about that

I think I will turn the microphone off)
