[Verse 1]
D
I think it's time I start livin' right
G
I can't eat, I don't sleep at night
D G A
I gotta be feelin' something all the time
D A
I know the world ain't the place for me
D G
I nod off and I just let it be
D G A
Sundays are always spent alone
[Verse 2]
D A
Had a girl but she got out
D G
The only one that's ever gonna leave this town
D G A
She met a man, but still misses me
D A
Phone rings, it's my only friend
D G
He calls up once month collectin' my rent
[Chorus]
D G A
The color blue's the only color I can see
G A D
The color blue's the only color I can see
[Solo]
D A D G D G A
Same as intro
[Verse 3]
D A
Lately it seems I'm losing my mind
D G
Giving it away one piece at a time
D G A
'Cause I ain't got nothing better to do
D A
Last time I let it get to me
D G
I went and washed my heart down the kitchen sink
D G A
Now I don't feel much of nothing at all
[Verse 4]
D A
How much time do I gotta spend
D G
In the bottom of this hole in the wall I'm in
D G A
Before it starts making sense to me
D A
Every day is the same damn thing
D G
The sun don't shine and the grass ain't green
[Chorus]
D G A
The color blue's the only color I can see
G A D
The color blue's the only color I can see
[Bridge]
Bm G
I think it's time I start livin' right
D A
Cause I can't eat, I don't sleep at night
Bm G D
I gotta be feelin' something all the time
Bm G
Every day is the same damn thing
D A
The sun don't shine and the grass ain't green
[Chorus]

The color blue's the only color I can see
Gm G D
The color blue's the only color I can see
