INTRO: G (6 strums) F (2 strums) <-- Repeat 4x G Bm Am Colleen, never to be crowned queen C Em Never an evergreen Bm Am Floating above the scene C G As still as a figurine Bm Am Expressionless, so serene C Em But I know what makes you scream Bm Am So don't you run out of steam C I know you, Colleen Am Em D It's been all messed up since the very beginning Am Em D You act so tough people think that you're winning F G A And everyone wants something from Colleen G Bm Am Colleen, perpetually between C Em What is and what could have been Bm Am Floating through your routine C G Every day since you were fifteen Bm Am And rosy as you make it seem C Em I know life for you ain't been a dream Bm Am To have to deal with the things you've seen C While they work you like you're a? Am Em D Machines break down but you can't break with them Am Em D It's too late now so don't break the rhythm F G A And everyone wants something from Colleen Em F G A Colleen, if ever you walk into a dead end street Em Come clean F G Don't say that it's all all in your mind A Because I know what you mean G Colleen (Verse chord progression over solo, end on C) Am Em D It's been all messed up since the very beginning Am Em D You act so tough people think that you're winning F G A And everyone wants something from Colleen A Ab G F# (Listen to the song to get the strumming right at this part) G F G And no one gets 'cause she's no one's Colleen A Colleen
