[Verse 1]
Gmaj7       F#m7              Bm7
We sing our love songs in the dark
          D
So no one has to hear the sparks
   Gmaj7     F#m7
We hold our seances
    Bm7       D
by streetlamp light
In Queen's Park,
when the moon's just right
Gmaj7    F#m7       Bm7   D
Tom says he can hear the colours
        Gmaj7     F#m7      Bm7
When he holds his eyes together

real tight

[Chorus]
       F#m7    D
I want permanence in the little things
Gmaj7   F#m7      D
While I leak rust from my broken jeans
Gmaj7     F#m7 D
I want to feel chaotic
Gmaj7    F#m7           D
But calm enough to hold you
in the morning

We look for patterns in the static

Play hide and seek in your
deathtrap of an attic

There's a door that leads to nothing
           D
Well, I'm sure that stands
    Gmaj7
for something
      F#m7       Bm7
But I hold my breath
    D                    Gmaj7
And pray when the summer ends
          F#m7     Bm7  D    Gmaj7
You still haven't found me

[Chorus]
       F#m7   D

left right left

Watch my beat-up vans become
a private jet

And we could fly out to Alaska
I'll ride my bike till I reach
the highlands

Bathe everything in kerosene
          Gmaj7       Bm7
And sing "bye bye Miss American Pie"
               Gmaj7
Pushed your Toyota to the motor
        Bm7       Gmaj7
But the tank ran dry

things  (I want permanence)
