C Em
It took forty days and forty nights
Am C
To get myself feeling right
F C G
The desert in my head was dry as a bone
C Em
I followed breadcrumb trails and Christmas lights
Am C
Street signs and satellites
F C G
Even shouted your name through a cheap megaphone
F G
'Cause you burn like something that burns
C Em Am C
And you sing like something that sings
F G C Em F G
There are no words to describe such a beautiful thing
C Em
I crawled my way through empty streets
Am G
Over parking lots and movie seats
F C G
Picking up clues in the threads of my coat
C Em
I found a letter from my future self
Am C
And true to form, it was little help
F C G
'Cause these useless lines were all that I wrote
F G
You shine like something that shines
C Em Am C
And you ring like something that rings
F G C
There are no words to describe such a beautiful thing
Interlude: Dm C F C Dm C F C Dm C F G F C G
C Em
Finally I caught a break
F C
A treasure map in a birthday cake
F C G
Two crossing lines revealed you to me
C Em
And standing by your bedroom door
Am G
I knocked three times and then once more
F C G
'Cause I knew that luck was but one thing I'd need
F G
'Cause you burn like something that burns
C Em Am C
And you sing like something that sings
F G C
There are no words to describe such a beautiful thing
Outro: Dm C F C G C F C G C F G F G
