Intro: G D Em C C Am Verse: G I'll be the grapes fermented, D Em C Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit like a perfect gentlemen G I'll be the fire escape that's D Em C bolted to the ancient brick Where you will sit and contemplate your day Instrumental (Repeat intro) G D Em C C Am Verse: G I'll be the waterwings that D Em C save you if you start drowning In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink G I'll be the phonograph that D Em C plays your favorite Albums back as your lying there Am drifting off to sleep... Drifting off to sleep... G I'll be the platform shoes and D Em C undo what heredity's done to you... You won't have to strain to look into my eyes G I'll be your winter coat D Em C buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up so you won't catch a cold Bridge: Em C G I want to take you far from the cynics in this town Em And kiss you on the mouth Em C We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene, G Em Start a brand new colony Em C G Where everything will change, We'll give ourselves new names Em identities erased Em C G The sun will heat the grounds Under our bare feet in this Am brand new colony, this brand new colony Outro: Em C G D Everything will change... Em C G D Em C G D Everything will change... Em C G D [end on Em] Thanks.
