Verse:
E5                              G5
All the parts of me that lived inside

E5                                G5
Are drowning in the sea of waking life

E5                                   G5
They don't know their colors don't belong on the outside

E5                                   G5
They don't know their colors don't belong


Chorus:
               C5                        E5
'til they're spread across the open road

               C5                              E5
'til they're spread across the asphalt on the open road

               C5                                 A5
'til they're streamin' in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish

          C5                               E5              G5
Long dark veins and records playing, memories...  


Verse 2:
E5                                   G5
All the things we yell don't mean a thing

             E5                             G5
When we're spinnin' out of darkened meadow wind

             E5                             G5
When we're flying like we're Mary's angels, through the shattered glass

        E5                                 G5
When we find that tall dark shadow waiting there with outstretched hands
       E5                           G5
He has given me a dress of red, and you, a skin of gray

         E5                                 G5
We'll be twistin' here for hours, 'til the light will bring us day
