Capo 1
Em7  D C9 G (x2)


    Em7                 D
I would take no for an answer,
     C9                G
Just to know I heard you speak,
          Em7                  D
And I'm wondering why I've never,
 C9               G          D
Seen the signs they claim they see,
         Em7           D
A lotta special revelations,
     C9              G
Meant for everybody but me,
         Em7              D
Maybe I don't truly know you,
         C9     G      D
or maybe I just simply believe...

Chorus:
        D
Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can
C9                              G
count up pretty high; but these faculties
                         C9
aren't getting me any closer to the sky,
        D
but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so
   C9                              G
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
               C9                        D
you is just like tryin to smell the color nine.
C9                  D    C9
     Smell the color nine...

           Em7                  D
Now I've never felt the presence,
       C9               G
But I know you're always near,
           Em7                D
And I've never heard the calling,
     C9          G           D
But somehow you've led me right here,
            Em7                 D
So I'm not lookin' for burnin' bushes,
         C9               G
Or some divine graffiti to appear,
          Em7                  D
I'm just beggin you for your wisdom ,
      C9           G             D  
And I believe you're puttin' some here...

Chorus
(ah's and do's)
you can pick this, it sounds cool
still with capo

Chorus 2
        D
Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can
C9                              G
count up pretty high; but these faculties
         C9
aren't getting me any closer to the sky,
        D
but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so
   C9                             G
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
                  C9                         
you is just like tryin to, sometimes
 G                        C9
findin you is just like tryin to
            G
sometimes findin you is just 
      C9                        D  
like tryin to smell the color nine.
C9                   D  C9
       Smell the color nine
               D
Nine's not a color...
       C9                G              D
and if even if it were you can't smell a color,no
C9      G              D
     that's my point exactly.

D  C9  G  x7 or fade out
