[INTRO 2]
G D G D G D A D

[VERSE]
G D      G  D
I wore a carnation
D          G     A
You wore a lilly white.
G   D           G  D
Our young love...
D        G          A
It could survive on sunlight.
G      D       G   D
It was foolish and fancy,
D           G      A
Tasted like cotton candy.
G D         G D
I love you, I miss you
D          G
Like Elvis misses 
A     D  G D G D G D AD
Tennessee.

[VERSE]
G D        G  D
I sent you a postcard
D           G       A
Confessions on both sides.
G  D         G    D
An old flame will flicker
D             G         A
And turn blue before it dies.
G D           G     D
I can't shake these memories
D               G      A
They stick like wet confetti.
G D       G   D
A swim in the ocean
D         G       A   D G D
Might not hurt me any.

[PRE-CHORUS]
         Bm               G
It's mid-July and there's still 
            A7   D
a chance of rain
    Bm                G
The sky has gone from black 
            A7
to white to gray...

[CHORUS]
                    D
Don't the brightest lights 
G        A7      D
cast the darkest shadows?
      G
Oh my love
A7     D G D G D G D A D
Let me go

[VERSE]
G   D         G   D
I'm spinnin', I'd dizzy,
D        G       A
I'm busy pushin' paper.
G D              G  D
I build things...
D            G        A
To tear them all down later.
G D        G  D
Decisions, distractions
D            G    A
These angles of refraction.
G   D       G   D
And somehow you sleep through
D            G       A        D G D
The sound of cymbals crashin'.

[PRE-CHORUS]
          Bm              G
It's December but there's still 
            A7   D
a chance of rain
    Bm                G
The sky has gone from black 
          A7  
to white again...

[DOUBLE CHORUS]
                    D
Don't the brightest lights 
G        A7      D
cast the darkest shadows?
      G
Oh my love
A7     D G D G D G D A D
Let me go
                    D
Don't the brightest lights 
G        A7      D
cast the darkest shadows?
      G
Oh my love
A7     D G D G D G D A D
Let me go

[CODA]
A7     D G D G D G D A D
Let me go
A7     D G D G D G D A D
Let me go
A7     D G D G D G D A D
Let me go
A7     D G D G D G D A D
Let me go
