Verse 1:
Am
Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so
Am
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show
F
You’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope
Dm Em F
I hope you make it to the day you’re 28 years old
You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise
Am
You’re spilling like an overflowing sink
F
You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece
Dm F
And now I’m tearing through the pages and the ink
Chorus:
F
Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
G
And now I’m covered in the colors
Pulled apart at the seams
Am
And it’s blue
G
And it’s blue
F
Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
G
And now he’s so devoid of color
He don’t know what it means
Am
And he’s blue
G
And he’s blue
Verse 2:
Am
You were a vision in the morning when the light came through
G
I know I’ve only felt religion when I’ve lied with you
C
You said you’ll never be forgiven till your boys are too
F
And I’m still waking every morning but it’s not with you
Pre-Chorus:
Am
You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise
F
You’re spilling like an overflowing sink
Am Em
You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece
F
And now I’m tearing through the pages and the ink
Chorus:
F
Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
G
And now I’m covered in the colors
Pulled apart at the seams
Am
And it’s blue
G
And it’s blue
F
Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
G
And now he’s so devoid of color
He don’t know what it means
Am
And he’s blue
G
And he’s blue
Bridge:
You were red and you liked me because I was blue
You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky
Then you decided purple just wasn’t for you
