I Used To Dream In Color Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][C]
[G]Well I got[Am] here by boat and I
don't intend to stay
The town clerk's black coat
is already turning grey
And I look [C]out and [Em]I doubt

[Verse 2]
I've [Am]been here one day and
already things feel cruel
An old lady's cursing at
somebody next to you
And I look [C]out and I [A]shout

[Verse 3]
Well I'm [Am]shimmering in gold,
shimmering in view
I [C]used to dream in colors,
now I dream in blues
I look [G]out, this [D]town felt
so [Am]gold from the [G]shores
I [D]look out and I [Am]don't
want to [C]see any [G]more
The [Am]people are trained in hate,
sending guns to kill
Already we're forgetting what
we were put here to do
I [C]look out and [Em]I cry

[Verse 4]
And [Am]trees are [A]falling at [Am]no man's
expense
Greed, jealousy
I look out [C]and I [A]shout
Well I'm [Am]shimmering in gold,

[Verse 5]
shimmering in view
I [C]used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues
I [G]look out, this [D]town felt
so [Am]gold from the [G]shores
I [D]look out and I [Am]don't want to [C]see any [G]more
An [Am]empathy forgotten with no man's greys

[Verse 6]
[Am]
I can't recall the last
time I saw a true face
[C]I look out and [Em]I die

[Verse 7]
[Am]Words are bombs, bombs are words
I miss the oblivion of being a young girl
I [C]look out, [A]I shout
Well I'm [Am]shimmering in gold,

[Verse 8]
shimmering in view
I [C]used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues
I [G]look out, this [D]town felt
so [Am]gold from the [G]shores
I [D]look out and I [Am]don't want to [C]see any [G]more
I [D]look out and I [Am]don't want to [C]see any [G]more
