A                                E
There is a radiance, usually afforded to a source of light
          A
Vomiting gradients
                               E
Beaming all around you as you walk tonight
            D
Oh tell me, Iris
             A                         E
What if the sight of you could take my eyes?


[Verse 2]

            A
Princess Impermanent
                                E
Princess Always Looking for the Next Result
               A
And when they serve you it
                                   E
Don't you always wish that you had something else?
     D
So indeterminate
       A                    E
So unobtainable, it must be hell
                  D                    A
That you should burn for it, and not exactly know its face
                           E
But it's something like a feeling


[Chorus]

    C#m                       F#
And oh, when you're hoping to know
                   B
What you wanted to know
    C#m                     F#
But oh, but it comes and it goes
                    B
But it comes and it goes
                       E
I'll help you find the word for it


[Verse 3]

    A
And Iris, cancel all the things
                               E
Cancel all the things you had to do
             A
If you're an island
                                E
I will find some meaning in the waves for you


[Chorus]

          C#m                      F#
Until the light coming out of the coves
                   B
Coming out of the coves
              C#m
It falls like life
                 F#
Filling into the deep blue
                      B
Don't you know that I see you now
                                E
For like the first time without eyelids?


[Outro]

    F#m                       B
And oh, when you're hoping to know
                   E
What you wanted to know
    F#m                      B
But oh, but it sticks in the throat
                     E
But it sticks in the throat
                     A            B
I'll help you find a word for it
                              E
I'll give you something to believe in
                         A              B
'Cause there has to be a word for this
                      B
Or it would only be a feeling
