[SONG]
{t:So Vivid}
{st:by, James McCormick, February 17, 2007}

[C]Suddenly it feels like all my [Em]walls are blown away
De-[F]fenseless and exposed I am [G7]held within your sway
[C]Every little detail is so [Em]focused and extreme
Your [Dm]presence makes reality more [G]vivid than a dream
{sob}
My [F]senses are on overload and [Em]time is standing still
Each [Dm]fiber of my being is [G]having a fire drill . . .
[G7]So, [C]pardon me if I do stare, I [Em]don't mean to intrude
But my [F]world just got so vivid the [G]moment I met [C]you
{eob}
{soc}
You're [F]vivid like an ember [C]clenched within my hand
You're [G]vivid as a diamond [F]sparkling in the [G]sand
[F]Vivid as the sunshine [C]glistening in the dew
[G]Vivid as a whisper in a [F]dark and hollow [G]room
{eoc}
[C]Usually I'm glib and cool, as [Em]shallow as can be
[F]Confident and cocky is what [G7]all the world should see
It's im-[C]possible to maintain my [Em]studied attitude
Your [Dm]beauty and your charm have [G]blown my fortitude
{sob}
My [F]jaded heart feels empty now it [C]longs to be fulfilled
I've [Dm]never felt so hollow so [G]nerdy and unskilled . . .
[G7]So, [C]pardon me if I do stare, I [Em]don't mean to intrude
But my [F]world just got so vivid the [G]moment I met [C]you
{eob}
{soc}
You're [F]vivid like an ember [C]clenched within my hand
You're [G]vivid as a diamond [F]sparkling in the [G]sand
[F]Vivid as the sunshine [C]glistening in the dew
[G]Vivid as a whisper in a [F]dark and hollow [C]room
{eoc}
