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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm ![]() C ![]() Em ![]() F ![]() G ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
