Written by Said the Whale
G I laid a kiss upon your forehead that night. G We laid awake and you wondered why I’d said, C “I’d never felt a kiss quite like this before.” G You said, “A kiss is a kiss,” But it was never like this before. G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G I laid my head upon your chest in the dark. G You said to me that if it’s only a spark C That can grow to be the nucleus of flame, G Well, then a flicker in the dark Will start a good fire all the same. G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G Oh K, Oh K, Okay Em Am I’d never met a girl who G Em Thinks the way that I do Am D About the better things, Am D Like the reflection of the moon Am D Or the mortality of fire Am D G And the distance of a star and us. G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G I lay my thoughts upon you in the dark. G I lay beside you and listen to your heart beat, C Rippling the water on the lake and the stars G And the night sky and bright sparks. G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G Oh K, Oh K, Okay Em Am I’d never met a girl who G Em Thinks the way that I do Am D About the better things, Am D And the reflection of the moon Am D Or the anatomy of fire Am D Em Or the distance of a star and us. Em G Am Em La da dum dum dum, We’ll never be alone Am D As long as we survive, Am D Separated by the miles, Am D Far across the land... Am D G And on a distant shore, there’s us. G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G Oh K, Oh K, Okay G Oh K, Oh K, Okay
