[Intro]
F Am C Em

[Verse 1]
               F                         Am           
Sometimes it returns, like rain that you slept through
                    C                          G        
That washed off the world, the streets looking brand new
              F                          Am         
I will not be great, but I'm grateful to get through
                 C                      Em     
The feeling came late, I'm still glad I met you

[Pre-Chorus]
           F                    Am  
The memory hurts but does me no harm
                C                       G   
Your hand in my pocket, to keep us both warm
                      F                         Am  
The poor thing in the road, its eye still glistening
                     C                        Em    
The cold wet of your nose, the earth from a distance

[Chorus]
           F     Am
See how it shines
           C Em  
See how it shines
           F     Am
See how it shines
           C Em  
See how it shines
F Am C Em
F Am C Em

[Verse 2]
                    F                                   Am   
Sometimes there's a thought like you choose what you're doing
                C                       G         
But it comes to naught when I look back through it
               F                        Am        
I remember the view, streetlights in the dark blue
             C                         Em      
The moment I knew I'd no choice but to love you

[Pre-Chorus]
                   F                         Am  
The speed that you moved, the screech of the cars
                   C                          G    
The creature still moving, that slowed in your arms
                F                      Am   
The fear in its eyes, gone out in an instant
                     C                       Em      
Your tear caught the light, the earth from a distance

[Chorus]
           F     Am
See how it shines
           C Em  
See how it shines
           F     Am
See how it shines
           C Em  
See how it shines
F Am C Em
F Am C Em

[Bridge]
                   F         
Darling, there's a part of me
                Fm       
I'm afraid will always be
                  C                            E   
Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life
                         Dm      
The weeds up through the concrete
                        G7  
The traffic picking up speed
                Em                                  A   
All my love and terror balanced there between those eyes

[Chorus]
           Dm    Fm
See how it shines
           C     
See how it shines
