VERSE ONE:
B F#
Hey remember when
B E
The sun shimmered in your hair
B F#
As we made our way
E F#
Through that acid summer
B F#
Hey remember how
B E
The sound of glory felt
B
As our feet fell hard
F# E F#
To the beat of an acid drummer
BRIDGE:
E(high)
When you left it all went gray
B(high)
I couldn’t deal their just aint no way
D# F#
All my friends said
B
That I was falling apart
F# G#
From day to day
CHORUS:
E F# B
All the colors in my world
G#
Just don’t seem quite bright
B F# E
And I call your name in the night
B F# E /A#
Baby I call your name in the night
VERSE TWO:
B F#
Yeah we spoke so cool
B E
Yeah we rode so blind
B G#
Never knew the drugs were the problem
E F#
Never knew the pain was inside
B F#
You with long blonde hair
B E
Mine was long and dirty brown
B F#
Charred mane you set me up
E
And when you walked away
F#
You came and cut me down
BRIDGE:
E(high)
When you left it all went gray
B(high)
I couldn’t deal their just aint no way

With all the precautious things you’d say

All the colors in my world

And I call your name in the night
B F# E /A#
Baby I call your name in the night
RIFF:
G# C# A F#
All I see is just the endless truth
B C# A
Pale image of the face of a girl that I once knew
G# C# A F#
All I need is just the flame that burns
B G# E F#
In the heart and mind of a hungry girl
E G# F#
All I need is a hungry girl
B F#
I hear all about
B E
The things you do and it brings me down
B G#
Burning out in a nowhere life
E F#
While I shake it to a brand new sound
E G# /F#
Brand new sound
E G# /F#
Brand new sound
E G# /F# E---
Brand new sound---
