Capo 1
E5  D5 C5 G5 (x2)


    E5                 D5
I would take no for an answer,
     C5                G5
Just to know I heard you speak,
          E5                  D5
And I'm wondering why I've never,
 C5               G5          D5
Seen the signs they claim they see,
         E5           D5
A lotta special revelations,
     C5              G5
Meant for everybody but me,
         E5              D5
Maybe I don't truly know you,
         C5     G5      D5
or maybe I just simply believe...

Chorus:
        D5
Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can
C5                              G5
count up pretty high; but these faculties
                         C5
aren't getting me any closer to the sky,
        D5
but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so
   C5                              G5
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
               C5                        D5
you is just like tryin to smell the color nine.
C5                  D5    C5
     Smell the color nine...

           E5                  D5
Now I've never felt the presence,
       C5               G5
But I know you're always near,
           E5                D5
And I've never heard the calling,
     C5          G5           D5
But somehow you've led me right here,
            E5                 D5
So I'm not lookin' for burnin' bushes,
         C5               G5
Or some divine graffiti to appear,
          E5                  D5
I'm just beggin you for your wisdom ,
      C5           G5             D5  
And I believe you're puttin' some here...

Chorus
(ah's and do's)

still with capo

Chorus 2
        D5
Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can
C5                              G5
count up pretty high; but these faculties
         C5
aren't getting me any closer to the sky,
        D5
but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so
   C5                             G5
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
                  C5                         
you is just like tryin to, sometimes
 G5                        C5
findin you is just like tryin to
            G5
sometimes findin you is just 
      C5                        D5  
like tryin to smell the color nine.
C5                   D5  C5
       Smell the color nine
               D5
Nine's not a color...
       C5                G5              D5
and if even if it were you can't smell a color,no
C5      G5              D5
     that's my point exactly.
