C                      Em
You cool your bedwarm hands down
         F            Am G
On the broken radiator
C                          Em
When you lay them freezing on me
   F                          Am G
I mumble can you wake me later

But I don't really want you to stop
And you know it so it doesn't stop you
You run your hands from my neck
To my chest

Chorus:
            C
Crack the shutters open wide
           Em                        F
I want to bathe you in the light of day
          Am
And just watch you as the rays
         G                   F
Tangle around your face and body
C
I could sit here for hours
         Em                       F
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
            Am
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
 G                      F
Just as much as I want you

It's been minutes it's been days
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
And the cold side of the pillow

Your hills and valleys
Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again

Chorus - x2
