C Bm Em G
♫ Verse 1:
C Bm Em G
We sing our love songs in the dark
So no one has to hear the sparks
C Bm Em G
We hold our seances by streetlamp light
In Queen's Park, when the moon's just right
C Bm Em G
Tom says he can hear the colours
C Bm Em G C
When he holds his eyes together real tight
♫ Chorus:
Bm G G C
I want permanence in the little things
Bm G C
While I leak rust from my broken jeans
Bm G
I want to feel chaotic
C Bm G
But calm enough to hold you in the morning
♫ Verse 2:
C Bm Em
We look for patterns in the static
G (C)
Play hide and seek in your deathtrap of an attic
C Bm Em
There's a door that leads to nothing

Well, I'm sure that stands for something
Bm Em
But I hold my breath
G C
And pray when the summer ends
Bm Em G
You still haven't found me

♫ Bridge:
C Bm Em G
I want it all and I want nothing
C Bm Em G
I wish this came with instructions
C C Bm Bm Em G
I'd press up up down down, left right left
C Bm Em G
Watch my beat-up vans become a private jet
♫ Verse 3:

And we could fly out to Alaska
G
I'll ride my bike till I reach the highlands

Bathe everything in kerosene
C Bm Em G
And sing "bye bye Miss American Pie"
C Bm
Pushed your Toyota to the motor
Em G C
But the tank ran dry

While I leak rust from my broken jeans

But calm enough to hold you in the morning
In the morning
