Violet Chords by Joey Cape

F                  G
Tonight the drunks are infected

Bb    C      F
We're on our way

               G
As if they drop by to see me 

Bb   C   F
Un-invit-ed

Bb   C            F
And I am a wallflower

         G
Maybe a better father

Bb        C
This is a job

F              G
For seconds I miss the Bentleys

Bb       C           F
Today, maybe they'll call

F            G
You describe every prison

Bb        C           F
You pass through them all

Bb      C              F
Then he asked you for your head

       A7                Dm
And I vowed to burn your bed

        G                Bb
Try to pretend but this is your life

C       
Somehow it feels right

F
I'm calling this evolution

C
I'm falling for institution

Dm         C                Bb
Warm submission enveloping you

F
Tomorrow I'll survive the questions

C
Knives buried with cold indifference

Dm           C                Bb
My world is true. Rendered by you.

 A7            Bb
Here they come again

Bb       C                   F
I could never find the words

       A7               Bb      
So I disguised them in verse

          C                   F
Until it comes out dumb and wrong

             A7    
The simplest song 

Bb           C
If you sing along

F                 Bb                 G                      C
Marry me Kristen, marry me Kristen; I want to be the only one

F
I'm painting a revolution

C
I'm falling for institution

Dm           C               Bb
Warm colours enveloping blue

F
Shot of comfort in a warm convention

C
Medicinal injection

Dm          C              Bb
Thirty-six years ended by you

F                  G
Tonight the drunks are infected

Bb    C      F
We're on our way
