Lydia - A Camera Lens And Careful Days Ukulele

Intro: D, Bm, A

D
   It's always blue and black or breaking skin,
                                          Bm
Well cover up girl we'll finally leave again.
           A
And you breath me in so well,
D
In your room under the cover of this night.
                               Bm
We are safe; we are, as long as you whisper.
         A
But my eye was caught by your picture.
A
That's hanging from your mirror,
                           Bm
Like something you forgot.
                                                          A
I'll say that we couldn't sleep just staring at the clock.
                                                          Bm
But when numbers seem to blur and the reflection is lost.    
                                            A                                      
Anything is love as you stare into your box.
D
So now we're used to the rain.
                                   Bm
We can swim and I'll say we were, never worried.
            A                         D
Because the floods will only bring the coast, and Atlantic closer.
Bm
I thought I told you girl.
           A
I thought I showed you the reason.
That all I truly want is to get in your head.
A
And steal your imagery.
                  Bm
So we can both go to your second story house.
                              A
You would never believe this snow.
It's so heavy on our lungs.
Bm                                                       A                          
But it's creeping up your walls and closing down the roads.
But I swear I'm loving while.
                     Bm                      A
I swear I still will hide away from the cold.

D
"I think that for me, everyday would be the last day of summer.
Or I'd be left out in the cold, with no place to go.
Bm                                               A
Because, there are very few people that I can relate to
                                    D
to every day of my life, forever, that will understand me,
Because I've gone places where very few people ever go.
Bm
I mean, I played the ultimate gamble of all; I gambled my life."
A
"You're fine, go back to work and we'll let you know when she comes.".

Interlude: A, Bm (Leave the E string ringing)


A                                                         Bm
       I swear we're almost there and we'll be safe inside
A                                                                Bm
       Down those stairs to your room where I could stay for days
A                                                     Bm
        Substance is over us, please don't do this
A                                                                   Bm
       'Cause this may never change, oh, but I'm still here, here
                         A
       It's all the same

Outro: D, Bm, A
