🎸 Verse 1:
                B                          Bm
Sometimes it returns, like rain that you slept through
                  G                         Cm
The worst of the world the streets looking brand new
                B                              Bm
I will not be great, but I'm grateful to get through
                  G                     Cm
The feeling came late, I'm still glad I met you

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
            B                    Bm
The memory hurts but does me no harm
                 G                       Cm
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

See how it shines

                      B                                  Bm
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
              G                         Cm
The moment I knew I'd no choice but to love you

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
                    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

See how it shines

🎸 Bridge:
                    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
