Intro:
|DmDm |DmDm |C majorC |C majorC  FF |G+G |G+G |


Verse 1:
  DmDm
"My god," I thought
          C majorC
"My god, what a sunset"
            FF   G+G
Blood red floods the Atlantic
    DmDm
With a wine in my hand
                      C majorC
Laid back in the grass of some stranger's field
          FF     G+G
While shearwaters reeled overhead

Chorus 1:
          FF      G+G    DmDm   C majorC
Thinking I should get all this dying off of my mind
     FF      G+G       DmDm      C majorC
I should really know better than to read the headlines
     FF      G+G
Does it matter if I see it?
  DmDm      C majorC    FF    G+G
No really, can I not just cover my eyes?


Verse 2:
    DmDm
In the half light, soft wind on my skin
C majorC               FF
 Pink clouds massing on the cliffs
    G+G
Thinking how can I touch this
               DmDm
How can I touch this softest petal
           C majorC
Softest stem, softest leaf
        FF    G+G
Bending, green, in my palm?


Chorus 2:
           FF     G+G    DmDm   C majorC
Thinking I should get all this dying off of my mind
     FF      G+G       DmDm      C majorC
I should really know better than to read the headlines
     FF      G+G
Does it matter if I see?
  DmDm      C majorC    FF    G+G
No really, can I not just cover my eyes?
  DmDm      C majorC      FF    G+G
Oh tell me, why can't I just cover my eyes?
