G              C          G
Lovesick on a sunny afternoon
         C               G
You are tired of staying in
         C             G
You are waiting for a sign
G             C                   G
Mayfly, woken up when skies are clear
         C               G
I don't mind you coming near
         C             D
Keep me company till she comes again

Chorus:
            C                Bm
You are the one who's making do
         Am               G
I am the one who's privy to
            Am             Bm
Because you saw him in the park
             C               G
Because you saw him at the bridges with
     Am            D
the people in the dark

Cana was the start of something big
You were there in the beginning
You were there to see him play
Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue
I don't mind the sight of you
Keep me company till she comes again

Chorus:
You are the one who's making do
I am the one who's privy to
Cause you saw him at the celebration
standing at the side
You had the moves to save the day
And you would love him anyway

Lovesick, it came back upon yourself
You are the one left on the shelf
You are incapable of playing the fool
Longing, so what's different today?
You sent the boy and girl away
You are concerned with matters lofty

Chorus:
But puzzled so it makes you sick
Your diary's looking like the bible
With it's verses lost in time
Lost in meaning for the people
Who surround you, it's a crying shame
You know it's a crying shame
You know it's a crying shame

G             C                   G
Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue
         C                 G
I don't mind the sight of you
         C             G
Keep me company till she comes again

G             C                   G
Mayfly, woken up when skies are clear
         C               G
I don't mind you coming near
         C             G
Keep me company till she comes again
C        G
lalala she comes again
C        G
lalala she comes again
C   G
lalala
