Verse:
C If pain was a color to paint on you
E7 Your heart would be the color blue.
Am Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair
D Which would remain a silver hue
C You are the one they call Jesus Christ.
E7 Who didn't know no rock and roll.
Am Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam
D And a heart that always told you
Pre-Chorus:
FC There's a madness in us all.
FC There's a madness in us all.
