Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse
I'll be the grapes fermented
bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
like a perfect gentlemen
I'll be the fire escape that's
bolted to the ancient brick
where you will sit and contemplate your day
Instrumental
Repeat intro)
Verse
I'll be the waterwings that
save you if you start drowning
in an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph that
plays your favorite albums back
as your lying there drifting off to sleep
I'll be the platform shoes and
undo what heredity's done to you
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat
buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up so
you won't catch a cold
Bridge
I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change, We'll give ourselves new names
identities erased
The sun will heat the grounds under our bare feet in this
brand new colony, this brand new colony
Outro
Everything will change...
Everything will change...
