Brilliant Blue

Ab  Bbm  Db  Eb  Db Eb Ab

Ab
Spoke of motivation and
  Bbm
Attention that I could not stand
    Db             Eb
I'd dreamt of easy answers and
 Db       Eb    Ab
Abandoned everything
Ab
Said oh no, I hold them dear
Bbm
The things I left just to be here
     Db                Eb
Such sentiments, they stuck my ears
   Db     Eb     Ab
A taut and tinny ring

    Db                              Ab
But there I was, just sitting in your room
 Bbm                Eb
Some boy you barely knew
            Db                             Ab
Cars passed by outside as the conversation grew
                 Bbm        Eb
Somewhere out on Ditmas avenue (Ooh)

  Ab
A snowy walk, you gave me gloves
  Bbm
I told you I believed in love
     Db                  Eb
It's something I've been thinking of
      Db           Eb        Ab
These weeks you've been away
Ab
Tried hard not to seek sublime
   Bbm
In dreams of the domestic kind
    Db              Eb
And sure we settled some in time
    Db     Eb      Ab
I'm glad I came to stay

Db                              Ab
Family's care, you take time to convey
        Bbm                            Eb
We hung photos on the wall of all our friends so far away
             Db                                   Ab
And said, "I hope you'll come and stay again some day"
Bbm                Eb
Yeah, we're always thinking of you (Ooh)

           Ab                Bbm
And on the ninth time out of ten
    Eb            Ab
You just start to begin
           Ab                     Bbm
To let the light shine through in brilliant blue
    Eb                Ab
And take a breath and then
Ab                Bbm
Circle 'round the sun
Eb           Ab
Open to what comes
       Ab                 Bbm
Sayin' I'm still me, I'll always be
    Eb                  Ab
But that don't mean I'm done

Ab  Bbm  Db  Eb  Db Eb  Ab

Ab
Intimate and understood
    Bbm
The way we tell these tales feels good
   Db                 Eb
We wander through the neighborhood
     Db         Eb         Ab
Some night some other time
Ab
Boundaries once were laundry lists
     Bbm
That never captured quite the gist
    Db                    Eb
The boys we've kissed, consoled and missed
   Db    Eb     Ab
So tenderly remind
    Db                              Ab
For now, I'm just not terribly concerned
               Bbm            Eb
Except for the essence left unlearned
    Db                                      Ab
And now our footsteps toward the house have turned
Bbm               Eb             Ab
Live oaks lean in early evening
