intro | C C/B Am7 D G :| play 2 times
C C/B Am7
I want to be where the talk of the town
D G
is about last night when the sun went down
C C/B Am7
yeah... and the trees all dance
D G C C/B
and the warm wind blows in the same old sound
Am7 D
and the water below gives a gift to the sky
G C C/B
and the clouds give back every time they cry
Am7 D
make the grass grow green beneath my toes
G
and if the sun comes out
C C/B
I'll paint a picture all about
Am7
the colors I've been dreaming of
D
the hours just don't seem enough
Am7
to put it all together
D G
maybe it's as strange as it seems
C G C
Mmmm...
Am7 D
and the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me
G C
it's a part of my mind it begins with a dream
Am7 D
and a feeling I get when I look and I see
G C
that this world is a puzzle, find all of the pieces
Am7 D
and put it all together, and then I'll rearrange it
Am7
I'll follow it forever
D G
always be as strange as it seems
C
Mmmm...
c(min)
nobody ever told me not to try
interlude | Am7 D G C :| 2 times
(during the interlude he somewhere sings "not to try" and twice "always try", just listen)
Am7 D
and the water below gives a gift to the sky
G C C/B
and the clouds give back every time they cry
Am7 D
make the grass grow green beneath my toes
G
and if the sun comes out
C C/B
I'll paint a picture all about
Am7
the colors I've been dreaming of
D
the hours just don't seem enough
Am7
to put it all together
D G
always be as strange as it seems
C G C
Mmmm... i sing
Am7 D G C (repeat 4 times)
Uhhh...
