Intro:      Dm x8


Dm                     Bb      
he stumbled into faith and thought,
      F         C
"God, this is all there is?"
Dm                   Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
      F           C
and began to breathe
Dm                      Bb
and all the gods in all the worlds
                 F   Em   Dm Bb C
began colliding on a backdrop of blue


F#    F
blue lips
F    Dm            Am ( Dm )x8
blue veins

Dm                       Bb
he took a step but then felt tired
            F                C
he said, I'll rest a little while
Dm                     Bb
but when he tried to walk again
     F          C
he wasn't a child
Dm                     Bb
and all the people hurried past
                          F Em Dm B C
real fast and no one ever smiled


F#    F
blue lips
F    Dm      
blue veins
        F            Am         Dm
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away


Dm                         Bb
he stumbled into faith and thought,
      F        C
"God, this is all there is?"
Dm                   Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
      F           C
and began to breathe
Dm                    Bb
and no one saw and no one heard
        F         C
they just followed lead
Dm                    (F ) Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
      F           C
and began to breed












Dm                                 Bb
they started off beneath the knowledge tree
                                    F
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
                        C
and, marching along the railroad tracks,
                        F   Dm
they smile real wide for the camera lenses
Dm                      Bb
they made it past the enemy lines
                                F  Am Dm B C...  F Am Dm B C
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines



F#    F

F    Dm      
blue veins
        F            Dm         Dm
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away


F# Dm            F Am  Dm
blue...the most human color...
