Crack the shutters    (video)    (intro)

 

    C - F - Am - C

 

    C                                                                         F                     - Am - C

1.    You cool you bed-warm hands down on the broken radiator,

C                                         

    and when you laid them freezin' on me,

          F                                                - Am - C

    a mumble can you wake me later.

C                         

    But I don't really want you to stop,

                     F                                           - Am - C

    and you know it so, it doesn't stop you,

C                                                                     F    

    and run you hands from my neck to my chest. - - -

 

                    C                                         Em                                  F

Crack the shutters open wide, I want to bathe you in the light of day,

               Am                                        G                                     F  

and just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body.

C                                          Em                                      F

 I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute,

                   Am                                      G                                   F   

’cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you.

 

   C                                            Em                   F                         - Am - C

2.   It's been minutes, it's been days, it's been all I will remember,

C                               Em                 F                                 - Am - C

    happy lost in your hair, and the cold side of the pillow.

C                              Em           F                                             - Am - C

    Your hills and valleys, are mapped by my intrepid fingers,

C                                 Em        F  - - - - - - - - - -

    and in a naked slumber, I dream of this again.
