Selection chords: Ethan Cooper

Intro: C Em G Bm

Verse:
                C                          Em
Sometimes it returns, like rain that you slept through
                  G                         Bm
The worst of the world the streets looking brand new
                C                              Em
I will not be great, but Iʼm grateful to get through
                  G                     Bm
The feeling came late, Iʼm still glad I met you

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

Chorus:
             C    Em
See how it shines...
             G   Bm
See how it shines...
             C    Em
See how it shines...
             G   Bm
See how it shines...

Post-chorus:
       C   Em
Oh-oh-ooh....
       G   Bm
Oh-oh-ooh....
       C   Em
Oh-oh-ooh....
       G   Bm
Oh-oh-ooh....

Verse:
                      C                                  Em
Sometimes thereʼs a thought like you choose what youʼre doing
                  G                        Bm
But it comes to naught when I look back through it
                C                         Em
I remember the view, streetlights in the dark blue
              G                         Bm
The moment I knew Iʼd no choice but to love you

Pre-chorus:
                    C                         Em
The speed that you moved, the screech of the cars
                    G                           Bm
The creature still moving, that slowed in your arms
                 C                      Em
The fear in its eyes, gone out in an instant
                       G                         Bm
Your tear caught the light, the Earth from a distance

Chorus:
             C    Em
See how it shines...
             G   Bm
See how it shines...
             C    Em
See how it shines...
             G   Bm
See how it shines...

Post-chorus:
       C   Em
Oh-oh-ooh...
       G   Bm
Oh-oh-ooh...
       C   Em
Oh-oh-ooh...
       G   Bm
Oh-oh-ooh...

Bridge:
                    C
Darling, thereʼs a part of me
                Cm
Iʼm afraid will always be
                   G                            B7
Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life
                          Am
The weeds up through the concrete
                        D
The traffic picking up speed
                 Bm                               E
All my love and terror balanced there between those eyes

Chorus:
             Am   Cm
See how it shines...
             G
See how it shines...
