Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][Ab][Bb][Ab]
[Gm][Ab][Bb][Eb][Ab][G]
[D][G]
My eyes are [D]white

[Verse 1]
[G]
circles above [D]cheekbones [G]on fire:
Pale hand grip[D]ping [G]my pen.
Rounding up [D]to the [G]zero,
adding [D]infinite fraction[G]s,
Letting nine [D]be [G]come ten.
[D]Two pink doves strut the shingles
Picking [Em]crumb[E]s from
the breakfast I [A]saved
[D]For you [Am]dear. and I [C]wish you were here
On this [D]postcard day.

[Interlude 1]
[G][Eb]

[Verse 2]
[G]Focus on [D]the fin[G]e indetermina[D]te line
[G]Where the sky meets the[D] sea.[G][D]
[G]Desperate midwee[D]k wor[G]ds,
banal [D]and absurd
[G]Freely flow out of [D]me.[G]
Well, [D]I may be a hosta[C]ge to s[D]ummer
But I'm a [Em]host[E] age, not a [A]slave.
And [Am]I'm clear that I wish
you were [C]here
On this [D]postcard day.

[Interlude 2]
[C][Bb][G][D][G]
[D][G][Eb][G][D][G][D][G]
[Gm]Precious cargo of

[Verse 3]
flotsam: mixed
memories on an [A]ocean [Bb]tide
[D]Swim [Gm]madly [Bb]with spice from the orient
[Gm]On a mystery watery carp[A]et ride.[Asus4]
[Am][C][Gm][C][Gm][Ab]
But with the sun going [Bb]down,
the wind [C]goes around;

[Interlude 3]
Blows them back out of mind.
[D][Gm][Bb]
[Ab][Bb][Eb][Ab][G]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]
My eyes are [D]white

[Verse 4]
[G]circles staring
down pas[D]t the [G]point
Of my restless [D]pen.[G][Eb][G]
While the ghost[D]s of my
[G]youth all sworn [D]to the truth
[G]Call my name again.
[D]Two brown legs don't [C]make [D]a summer.
But two brown [E]arms couldn't
keep me [A]away.
Well, my [Am]dear, I wish you were [C]here
On this post[D]card day.
