Living in colour, li-living in colour I can   see you paint your toes
A                                       D           E

A                                       D                   E
I am floating, I, I am floating with my eyes closed with no sails
A                                      D               E
I am soaking, I, I am weathered by the winter of mixed drinks
A                                        D                  E
I'm a dancing, I, I'm around, I'm simply spinning in my own grave
A                                         D              E
You were asking, you, you were asking the two-steps, I'm saved

Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
(We stum-bounce, we) I was paler than a pine-box that holds bones
She pulled the iris, she pierced a hole and watched the colour rush forth
Morning with daughter, well how the hell did warm hands retain nails?
(Mark my mouth, mark, mark) Whispered that the sickness will go away

Living in colour, li-living even in the blackout, I know
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes

Bridge chords:
A                                D                             A
And though I dreamt with a rapid eye, by day I hope to rapidly die
                           D                                         A
And have my organs laid on ice, wait for somebody that will treat me right
                               D                                    A
And as the night starts swallowing, you killed the blood to my blue lip
                                D                                     A
Oh it was the life, you spilled beans, failed my heart, don't do that again
