        B             Bm
Sometimes it returns, like rain that you slept through
         G             Cm
The worst of the world the streets looking brand new

Your hand in my pocket, to keep us both warm
            B         Bm
The poor thing in the road its eye still glistening
           G           Cm
The cold wet of your nose, the earth from a distance

Sometimes there's a thought like you choose what you're doing
         G            Cm
But it comes to naught when I look back through it
        B             Bm
I remember the view, streetlights in the dark blue

The moment I knew I'd no choice but to love you

          B             Bm
The speed that you moved, the screech of the cars
          G              Cm
The creature still moving, that slowed in your arms
         B           Bm
The fear in its eyes, gone out in an instant
            G             Cm
Your tear caught the light, the Earth from a distance

          B
Darling, there's a part of me
        Bbdim
I'm afraid will always be
          G              C7
Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life
             Bm
The weeds up through the concrete
            G
The traffic picking up speed
         Cm7b5                B
All my love and terror balanced there between those eyes

🎸 Chorus:
       Bm  Bm
See how it shines
       G
See how it shines
