          G#                            G#7
I'm sun-dried, my lips are high on overdrive
        C#maj7
I'm so tired
                         C#m6
I'm sorry if I'm low on confidence,
              G#
I left at midnight
                            G#7
I'm sorry, but my brain is fried
                            C#maj7
I haven't seen your face in miles and miles
                       C#m                       Fm
Always on a different continent, don't forget me now
   A#               C#     C#m6
Or ever, 'cause I know, I know

Chorus:
                G#
As long as you care
              D#m7  
You have no idea, it's all bright
           C#
lights and red eyes
                  C#m                  G#
Bright lights and red eyes, I'm never there
                      D#m7  
But as long as you're here
                          C#
I'm all bright lights and red eyes
                   C#m
Bright lights and red eyes

Sometimes, got me working like a broke machine
Bad advice, it's why I keep on comin' home again
My fingers still bleed
Maybe this is what I need
'Cause I've been movin' on for miles and miles
Runnin' off instead of facing you, but if I do
You won't be home
When I get there and I'm runnin' outta air

Chorus:
But as long as you care
You have no idea
It's all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes
I'm never there
But as long as you're here
I'm all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes

 G#
Never wanna sleep 'til noon
 G#7                            Dm7-5          C#m
Never wanna see you with those red eyes, those red
eyes
 G#
Never wake up in my room
 G#7                            Dm7-5   C#m
Never wanna see you with those red eyes

Chorus:
But don't cry, I know that you care (Yeah, yeah)
You have no idea (Yeah, yeah)
It's all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes
I'm never there
But as long as you're here (Yeah, yeah)
I'm all bright lights and red eyes (Yeah, yeah)
Bright lights and red eyes

As long as you care
Mmm-mm (Red eyes)
Mmm-mm (Red eyes)
(Red eyes)
