(This isn't in the original key of the song, its a half step higher for easier playing)
I've been looking through these eyes
Of black and white for far too long
And now these deepened colors seem so shocking
(same chords as previous verse)
Bless the cold, cold moon
That moves the sea that makes the waves
That made this scene for me to see and be moved
Will my life be long enough
To see the things I want to see?
I believe this world is just too big for me
Every cloud that passes by
Is another cloud I'll never see
Maybe I just try too hard
To understand all of these things
(same chords as previous verse)
Bless the hands of painters
Who have captured melon skies
And starry nights for us to see and feel
For all of time
Will my life be long enough
To see the things I want to see?
I believe this world is just too big for me
This life is just a blink of an eye
A glimpse into a world we were never meant to see
So don't hang on to anything at all
And all the things we have
And all the people we have known
Will fade away so quickly
Into the deep
And memories of love will be
The only warmth we have in the end
