Enjoy.
Intro:
G D Em
C C Am
Verse:
G
I'll be the grapes fermented,
D Em C
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
like a perfect gentlemen
G
I'll be the fire escape that's
D Em C
bolted to the ancient brick Where you will sit
and contemplate your day
Instrumental (Repeat intro)
G D Em
C C Am
Verse:
G
I'll be the waterwings that
D Em C
save you if you start drowning In an open tab when
your judgement's on the brink
G
I'll be the phonograph that
D Em C
plays your favorite Albums back as your lying there
Am
drifting off to sleep... Drifting off to sleep...
G
I'll be the platform shoes and
D Em C
undo what heredity's done to you... You won't have to strain
to look into my eyes
G
I'll be your winter coat
D Em C
buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up so
you won't catch a cold
Bridge:
Em C
G
I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
Em
And kiss you on the mouth
Em C
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
G Em
Start a brand new colony
Em C G
Where everything will change, We'll give ourselves new names
Em
identities erased
Em C G
The sun will heat the grounds Under our bare feet in this
Am
brand new colony, this brand new colony
Outro:
Em C G D
Everything will change...
Em C G D
Em C G D
Everything will change...
Em C G D
[end on Em]
Thanks.
