Nightblindness

Seen David Gray play this live and he uses a capo on the 2nd fret. I think the guitar
a brighter tone when played this way.

Capo 2nd fret
All chords relative to capo

Verse:
A million to one outsiders
Nightblindness
Can?t see

Your bright eyes are what
The time is
Twenty-five past eternity

Hear you listening
To the silence
Coming closer
Now further away

Chorus:
What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day

Verse:
I?m sick of all the same romances
Lost chances
Cold storms

Propping mountains up
On matchsticks
Dragging baskets
Full of bones

And honey please don?t stop
Your talking
?cause there?s a feeling
Won?t leave me alone

Chorus:
What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day

What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day

F C G etc……..
The bright of day
The bright of day

I noticed that the versions of this song here were

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love and I’m going to make sure it doesn’t happen again
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me, I feel

Take your hands off me, hee_____ey
I don’t belong to you, you see_______
Take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye________

We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit, but it just wasn’t me
You’re used to wearing less, and now you’re life’s a mess so insecure you see
Well I’ve put up with all the scenes
and this is one scene that’s going to be played my way

[Repeat Chorus]
Say hello and wave goodbye________

Under the deep red lights I can see the makeup sliding down
Well hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
As for me, well, I’ll find someone who’s not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife who’ll give me the steady life
And not keep going off the rails

[Repeat Chorus]
Say hello and wave goodbye________
Say hello and wave goodbye________
