Gorgeous is has been a favorite song of many violet fans.
It is an emotional, sad and promising song all in one.
'The distance in your eyes...' It says enough.

A    Asus4              A         E
   I swear it was the fourth of July
F#m    D              E
   and I could barely raise my eyes
A        Asus4          A         E
You were the rockets you were the show
F#m          D               E
You were the colors, ah, the light, the glow
F#m         D       E
color me in rags of light
F#m        D      E
bury me in silver shine                 
D
I see it all the time
    A       E
You feel so much
                     D
the distance in your eyes
A       E
says so much
                 D
you're very far away
    A                   E
you won't catch me that way
                        A      Asus4  A  E
you won't catch me that way
                      F#m    D      E
(won't catch me that way)

A        Asus4           A         E
  I don't know where this feeling begins
F#m  D                   E
   I shake and slip fall in again I guess
A     Asus4             A         E
I can tell the way you look at me now
F#m         D               E
You are the rockets and the light somehow
F#m         D      E
color me in red or white
F#m        D        E
bury me in rags of light


                 D
I see it all the time
    A       E
You feel so much
                     D
the distance in your eyes
A       E
says so much
                 D
you're very far away
    A                   E
you won't catch me that way
                        A      Asus4  A  E
you won't catch me that way
                       F#m    D      E
(won't catch me that way)

repeat   A      Asus4  A  E
