Tuning: C# Standard (C#-F#-B#-E-G#-C#)

(The chords represent the shapes and less of the notes themselves.)



Strumming pattern: Picking over a 3/4 pattern (or is it 6/8..), but listening to 
the song will give you a good enough idea.







Verse:
Em                              G
All the parts of me that lived inside

Em                                G
Are drowning in the sea of waking life

Em                                   G
They don't know their colors don't belong on the outside

Em                                   G
They don't know their colors don't belong


Chorus:
               C                        Em
'til they're spread across the open road

               C                              Em
'til they're spread across the asphalt on the open road

               C                                 Am
'til they're streamin' in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish

          C                               Em              G
Long dark veins and records playing, memories...  


Verse 2:
Em                                   G
All the things we yell don't mean a thing

             Em                             G
When we're spinnin' out of darkened meadow wind

             Em                             G
When we're flying like we're Mary's angels, through the shattered glass

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

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

(Repeat Chorus, etc.)
