Tune down 1/2 step
[Intro]
A Em A Em
[Verse 1]
A
He's old like the raspberry cold
Em
Coming in the window
A
His gloom room
Em
Flowers blooming out like armadillos
[Verse 2]
A
He looks to the left at the yellow lines
Em
Moving with the traffic
A Em
His veins have turned to plastic blinds
[Interlude]
A Em A Em
[Verse 3]
A
He was new like the violet dew
Em
Water looking at him through
A
The telescopic mountain view
Em
Where the stars were still laughing
A
He lept into the northern sky
Em
Filled his lungs with peach pie
A Em
Never even wondered why
[Chorus]
B
Go with the yellow light
B
Your mind is a dandelion
F#
The weight of your crooked spine
G#m
Is returning to snow
E B
And though you are mostly now machines
D G D G
Not electrical in dreams you're a rose
[Bridge]
A
He's old like the raspberry cold
G
Coming in the window
A
His gloom room
G
Flowers then blooming out like armadillos
A
He walks with the owls in the yellow moon
G
Walks like a river lapping
A
His blood is thick and tacking
[Interlude]

The stars were still laughing
