Abstract (Psychopomp)

[Intro]
F Am C Em
 
[Verse 1]
               F                         Am
Sometimes it returns, like rain that you slept through
                    C                          G
That washed off the world, the streets looking brand new
              F                          Am
I will not be great, but I'm grateful to get through
                 C                      Em
The feeling came late, I'm still glad I met you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           F                    Am
The memory hurts but does me no harm
                C                       G
Your hand in my pocket, to keep us both warm
                      F                         Am
The poor thing in the road, its eye still glistening
                     C                        Em
The cold wet of your nose, the earth from a distance
 
 
[Chorus]
           F       Am
See how it shines
           C Em
See how it shines
           F       Am
See how it shines
           C Em
See how it shines
 
F Am C Em
F Am C Em
 
 
[Verse 2]
                    F                                   Am
Sometimes there's a thought like you choose what you're doing
                C                       G
But it comes to naught when I look back through it
               F                        Am
I remember the view, streetlights in the dark blue
             C                         Em
The moment I knew I'd no choice but to love you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   F                         Am
The speed that you moved, the screech of the cars
                   C                          G
The creature still moving, that slowed in your arms
                F                      Am
The fear in its eyes, gone out in an instant
                     C                       Em
Your tear caught the light, the earth from a distance
 
 
[Chorus]
           F       Am
See how it shines
           C Em
See how it shines
           F       Am
See how it shines
           C Em
See how it shines
 
F Am C Em
F Am C Em
 
[Bridge]
                   F
Darling, there's a part of me
                Fm
I'm afraid will always be
                  C                            E
Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life
                         Dm
The weeds up through the concrete
                        G7
The traffic picking up speed
                Em                                  A
All my love and terror balanced there between those eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
           Dm     Fm
See how it shines
           C
See how it shines
