Coppertone

i found this on the band’s youtube , in the comments board ( apparently a fan had asked
them and this was hellogoodbye’s courteous reply ) . just wanted to post the basic chord

C Gm
patiently , i’ve waited patiently
Am F G
hoping that you’d believe
C Gm Am
that the lights in our eyes
F G
are not fading out

they’re not yet fading out
somehow we’re safe and sound
like the glow off the shore
we will hurry

C F7
what could i ever do?
C G7
what could i say?
C F7
to cover up my concerns?
C G7
to keep them at bay?

C F7
oh , then she said ,
C G7
“you spend too much time in your head”
C F7
what could i ever do?
C G7
what could i say so carefully?

carefully , i followed carefully
too scared of a scraped knee
so i wait on the sand
with her coppertone

yeah , she put on coppertone
and went out there all alone
never one to be scared or to worry

what could i ever do?
what could i say?
to cover up my concerns?
to keep them at bay?

oh , then she said ,
“you spend too much time in your head”
what could i ever do?
what could i say so carefully?

what could i ever do?
oh , what could i say?
to cover up my concerns?
to keep them at bay?

oh , then she said ,
“you spend too much time in your head”
what could i ever do?
oh , what could i say so carefully?
