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
progression, cuz as of yet there are no chords ANYWHERE (sad day...).

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?
(instrumental)
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?
