Intro:
GDEm CCAm
Verse:
G I'll be the grapes fermented, DEmC Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
like a perfect gentlemen
G I'll be the fire escape that's DEmC bolted to the ancient brick Where you will sit
and contemplate your day
Instrumental (Repeat intro)
GDEm CCAm
Verse:
G I'll be the waterwings that DEmC save you if you start drowning In an open tab when
your judgement's on the brink
G I'll be the phonograph that DEmC 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 DEmC 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 DEmC buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up so
you won't catch a cold
Bridge:
EmC G I want to take you far from the cynics in this town Em And kiss you on the mouth EmC We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene, GEm Start a brand new colony EmCG Where everything will change, We'll give ourselves new names Em identities erased EmCG The sun will heat the grounds Under our bare feet in this Am brand new colony, this brand new colony
