Verse:
[Em]All the parts of me that lived i[G]nside
[Em]Are drowning in the sea of waking [G]life
[Em]They don't know their colors don't be[G]long on the outside
[Em]They don't know their colors don't be[G]long
Chorus:
'til they're sp[C]read across the open road[Em]
'til they're sp[C]read across the asphalt on the [Em]open road
'til they're st[C]reamin' in the wind like cassette [Am]tape or jellyfish
Long dark [C]veins and records playing, memor[Em]ies... [G]
Verse 2:
[Em]All the things we yell don't mean a t[G]hing
When we're sp[Em]innin' out of darkened meadow w[G]ind
When we're fl[Em]ying like we're Mary's angels, [G]through the shattered glass
When we [Em]find that tall dark shadow waiting [G]there with outstretched hands
He has [Em]given me a dress of red, and [G]you, a skin of gray
We'll be [Em]twistin' here for hours, 'til the l[G]ight will bring us day
(Repeat Chorus, etc.)
