D#m           F#            C#
You wrote me notes on paper bags
                  B                 D#m
You strolled the roads as I turned back
        F#                C#
Air was calm the sky was black
             B                D#m
You wrote a list of things I lack
C#/F  F#   C#  B   C# D#m
We've come to realise
C#/F  F#  C# B       C#
We've opened up our eyes

Chorus:
       F#        C#        D#m          B
'Cause you're a mountain I can't climb yet
    F#     C#           D#m        B
And I'm a painting but you're blinded

Always have to justify how my tongue dances
We're barely getting by on taking chances
And we come to realize
It's us that we despise

Chorus:
'Cause you're a mountain I can't climb yet
And I am a painting, but you're blinded

We come to realize
It's us that we despise
