[Verse]
Bm C# D
Sleeping in the beetle bug
B5 A5 F#5 A5 G Em D
With a hundred pounds of air in my heart
F#5 E5 D5 E5 F#5 D5 G G/F# Bm
Don't think that I'm able to sympathize
C# D* G* GM7 G6 G* GM7 G6 G* GM7 G6 G* GM7 G6
I'm happier to see it gone

[Verse]
Bm C# D
Floating above your house
B5 A5 F#5 A5 G Em D
Like a penguin dropping cherries from my mouth
F#5 E5 D5 E5 F#5 D5 G G/F# Bm
Tapping the walnuts and the shadows
C# D* A5
Out of a dreaming pair of brown-eyed ghosts

[Chorus]
F5 Bm D
In each of your eyes, I saw it's spring
Bm Gm
Where every mouth wakes up
A5 F5 Bm D A
To a smile and a yawn, grass is long and laughs
CM/m A
When the wind jumps through it

[Verse]
Bm C# D
It must have started with that stick in the mud
B5 A5 F#5 A5 G Em D
That there's where clouds are born
F#5 E5 D5 E5 F#5 D5 G G/F# Bm
Clouds can't stay where they are born
C# D* G* GM7 G6 G* GM7 G6 G* GM7 G6 G* GM7 G6
Winds push them so far from home

[Verse]
Bm C# D
The sound of your laughter
B5 A5 F#5 A5 G Em D
Tiptoeing across the floor
F#5 E5 D5 E5 F#5 D5 G G/F# Bm
Makes the deepest of red umbrellas
C# D* A5
Able to inflate my smile

[Chorus]
F5 Bm D
In each of your eyes, I saw it's spring
Bm Gm
Where every mouth wakes up
A5 F5 Bm D A
To a smile and a yawn, grass is long and laughs
CM/m A
When the wind jumps through it
