Introduction

C..G..Am..F….C…G

C..G..Am..F….C…G

And it’s blue as in cerulean it’s the scent of new mown hay

C……………………………………….Dm…………………Am

Laugh and turn the pages when there’s nothing left to say

F………………………………………………C…………….G..

And it’s true that a thing of brilliance can be paled be dimmer light

…………C……………………………………….Dm……………..Am..

Spin the tale of ages and get me through this night

F…………………………….C……………………..G..

Tragedy takes a number beauty takes to flight

Am………………..C………Dm……F………G

Reason’s on vacation and it’s killing me tonight

Am……………..C……………….Dm..F……G

There’s a row of oleander that divides your house from mine

……………C………………………Dm………………………Am

Stifles words of anger and keeps the neighbours blind

F………………………………C………………………G…

There’s a star set in the distance of a steely cold and gray

………….C………………………………Dm……………..Am

With lights on the horizon as we look the other way

F…………………………………….C…………….G…

SAME CHORDS THROUGHOUT

And it’s blue as in cerulean it’s the scent of new mown hay

Laugh and turn the pages when there’s nothing left to say

And it’s true that a thing of brilliance can be paled by dimmer light

Spin the tale of ages and get me through this night

Tragedy takes a number beauty takes to flight

Reason’s on vacation and it’s killing me tonight

There’s a music in the silence of a spring that plays no more

A desert in our future and a knocking at the door

There’s a peace for the unknowing there’s a warning to the wise

A smile upon the faces of our ruin in disguise

THEN REPEAT CHORUS AS ABOVE
