[Verse 1]
[G]Blu[Em]e[Cm][G][Em][Cm]
[G]was the color of that old sedan
I used [Em]to ride in with m[Cm]om and dad
Blue [G]was the color of the wishing well
where all [Em]my good intent[Cm]ions
[G]Blue was the color of the first city
that ever [Em]brought me crying to [Cm]my knees
Blue [G]was the color of that
living hell you fell,
[Em]you fell[Cm] into[G][Em]
You [Cm]fell [G]into[Em][Cm]
And I knew [G]that the blood
was on my hands
And I [Em]want it so [Cm]bad to turn around
[G]And go back to a place
where I could've made [Em]you
[Cm]Change your [G]mind
Could've [Em]made you [Cm]change
your [G]mind[Em][Cm]
And did you [Em]ever wonder
if what the philo[B]sophers say is true?
[A]Time is a cir[B]cle, not a line
[Em]If you ever did run ou[B]t of things to do
[A]You could really [B]bend your mind
[Em]And maybe you were
[B]always gonna [A]fall
[B]Fall into [Bm]the blue
[Em]And maybe there was [B]nothing we c[Bm]ould do
[A]Not[B]hing we could do
[G]Blu[Em]e, blu[Cm]e
[G]Blue, blu[Em]e[Cm][G]
[Em]Blue, blue[C]
[G]Blue, blue, [Em]blue[Cm]
[G]Blue was the color of the cigarettes
I forced [Em]myself to smoke [Cm]at 12
Blue [G]was the color of that awful dress
I wore [Em]through the win[Cm]ter
Blue [G]was the color of the ribbons in our
hair [Em]that reeked of inno[Cm]cence
Blue [G]was the color of that
living hell you [Em]fell
You [Cm]fell you fell
[G]and when she told you about the
poison dreams you laughed
[Em]You said they'd never
[Cm]make you scream.
You thought [G]you were so strong
Paranoia never gets [Em]you.
You'll be flying high [Cm]above
the rest [G]forever
But of course the fall was coming
[Em]I remember feeling sor[Cm]ry for ya
You were [G]living in that studio apartment
That excuse for a home
[Em]on the o[Cm]ther side of town
And [G]wasn't often that you found
the time to [Em]sleep
Among your dirty [Cm]sheets
But the one [G]night you tried
you really believed
[Em]Your best friend was trying [Cm]to kill ya
That's when I said [G]blue
is the color of that
That's a flame that [Em]makes
you slowly [Cm]insane
[G]Blue is the color of that crippling shame
[Em]You feel when the [Cm]high fades blue
[G]What's the color of your artillery veins?
[Em]I know you have a fa[Cm]vorite,
don't you blue?
[G]It's the color that overcomes you
Do [Em]you watch your life
disappear [Cm]in t[G]he rearview?[Em]
Disap[Cm]pear in the rearview [G]room[Em]
Disap[Cm]pear in the rearview [G]room[Em]
Disap[Cm]pear in the rearview [G]room[Em]
Disap[Cm]pear in the rearview [G]room you
