Intro: Am G C (x2)
Verse
Am G
Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so
C
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show
Am G
You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope
C
I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old
Pre-Chorus
Am G
You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
C
You're spilling like an overflowing sink
Am G
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
C
And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink
[Refrão]
Am
Everything is blue
F
His pills, his hands, his jeans
C
And now I'm covered in the colors
C
Pulled apart at the seams
Am F
And it's blue
C
And it's blue
C Am
Everything is grey
F
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
C
And now he's so devoid of color
C
He don't know what it means
Am F
And he's blue
C C
And he's blue

You were a vision in the morning when the light came through

And I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you
