Intro: C G Am F C G C G Am F C G
C
And it's blue as in cerulean
G Am
It's the scent of new mown hay
F
Laugh and turn the pages
C G
When there's nothing left to say
C
And it's true that a thing of brilliance
G Am
Can be paled by dimmer light
F
Spin the tale of ages
C G
And get me through this night
Chorus
Am C
Tragedy takes a number
F C G
Beauty takes to flight
Am C
Reason's on vacation
F C G
And it's killing me tonight
C
There's a row of oleander
G Am
That divides your house from mine
F
Stifles words of anger
C G
And keeps the neighbours blind
C
There's a star set in the distance
G Am
Of a steely cold and grey
F
With lights on the horizon
C G
As we look the other way
C
And it's blue as in cerulean
G Am
It's the scent of new mown hay
F
Laugh and turn the pages
C G
When there's nothing left to say
C
And it's true that a thing of brilliance
G Am
Can be paled by dimmer light
F
Spin the tale of ages
C G
And get us through this night
Chorus
Am C
Tragedy takes a number
F C G
Beauty takes to flight
Am C
Reason's on vacation
F C G
And it's killing me tonight
C
There's a music in the silence
G Am
Of a spring that plays no more
F
A desert in our future
C G
And a knocking at the door
C
There's a peace for the unknowing
G Am
There's a warning to the wise
F
A smile upon the faces
C G
Of our ruin in disguise
C
And it's blue as in cerulean
G Am
It's the scent of new mown hay
F
Laugh and turn the pages
C G
When there's nothing left to say
C
And it's true that a thing of brilliance
G Am
Can be paled by dimmer light
F
Spin the tale of ages
C G
And get us through this night
