Am, F, C, G 



            Am                             F 
Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so 
              C                         G 
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show 
            Am                            F 
You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope 
           C                                G 
I hope you make it to the day you're twenty eight years old 


       Am                             F 
You're tripping like you're saturated sunlight 
       C                            G 
You're spilling like an overflowing sink 
       Am                                F 
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece 
       C                                  G 
And I'm tearing through the pages and the ink 


              Am 
Everything is blue 
               F 
His pills, his hands, his jeans 
            C 
And now I'm covered in the colors 
     G 
Pull apart at the seams 
            Am       F  
It makes me blue 
            C        G 
It makes me blue 
              Am 
Everything is grey 
              F 
His hair, his smoke, his dreams 
             C 
And now he's so devoid of color 
         G 
He don't know what it means 
            Am       F 
It makes me blue 
            C        G 
It makes me blue 


           Am                             F 
You were a vision in the morning when the light came through 
         C                         G 
And I've only felt religion when I lay with you 
            Am                          F 
Said you'll never be forgiven till your boys are too 
          C                             G 
I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you 



       Am                             F 
You're tripping like you're saturated sunlight 
       C                            G 
You're spilling like an overflowing sink 
       Am                                F 
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece 
       C                                  G 
And I'm tearing through the pages and the ink 


              Am 
Everything is blue 
               F 
His pills, his hands, his jeans 
            C 
And now I'm covered in the colors 
     G 
Pull apart at the seams 
            Am       F  
It makes me blue 
            C        G 
It makes me blue 
              Am 
Everything is grey 
              F 
His hair, his smoke, his dreams 
             C 
And now he's so devoid of color 
         G 
He don't know what it means 
            Am       F 
It makes me blue 
            C        G 
It makes me blue 


              Am       F 
Everything is blue 
              C        G 
Everything is blue 
              Am       F 
Everything is blue 
              C        G 
Everything is blue 


*Am           
    You were red and you liked me because I was blue 
*F 
    You touched me and suddenly I turned into a lilac sky 
*C 
    Then you decided purple  
*G 
    Just wasn't for you 



              Am 
Everything is blue 
               F 
His pills, his hands, his jeans 
            C 
And now I'm covered in the colors 
     G 
Pull apart at the seams 
            Am       F  
It makes me blue 
            C        G 
It makes me blue 
              Am 
Everything is grey 
              F 
His hair, his smoke, his dreams 
             C 
And now he's so devoid of color 
         G 
He don't know what it means 
            Am       F 
It makes me blue 
            C        G 
It makes me blue
