Lavender Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I could be the Poet of the Wee[F]k
If I [Fm]dyed my hair bright [C]blue
And [Am]if you [G]had blue hair too
So [C]could you[F][C][D][C][F][C]
[D]
I [C]could be the darlin' of the [F]screen
With a bone [Fm]straight through my [C]nose[F][C]
[D]And [Am]if you h[G]ad a nose bone too
So could [C]you[F][C][D]
[Em]After years [Am]of scrapping,
bit[Em]ing and[Am] scratching,
I [C]have learned a painful les[F]son [C]or ten
[D]With just one simple purchase
[E]at some hab[Am]erdashery,
[G]I will never h[F]ave t[G]o struggle a[C]gain[G]
I have a suit [Bm]now,
[C]bright shade of [G]lavender,
you'll [C]notice when I walk in [D]the room.
[G]I have a top h[Bm]at,
[C]also in lavender,[G]
covered [C]all in yellow stars [D]and
[C]moons.[F][C][D][C][F][C]
[D]You [C]may find a get -up like I have [F]found
But you'd be [Fm]next in [C]line[F][C]
[D]But in [Am]chartreuse, [G]pink, or wine
You'd [C]be fine[F][C]
[D]After yea[Em]rs of [Am]lending,
[Em]grey, black and navy,
[Am]I am[C] building a much bri[F]ghter be[C]ast.
And [D]I'm really quite offended
[E]when they call [Am]it selling ou[G]t.
I've come [F]to view [G]it more as a [C]lease.
[G]And I've got some big sho[Bm]es.
[C]That's right, the[G]y're lavender.
They envy [C]now of every circuit's [D]clown.
A [G]vision in [Bm]purple,[C]
food for [G]the scavengers
who never [C]even knew I was [D]around
[G]Around[Bm][C][G]
[C][D]
[G][Bm][C][G][C]
[D]
After [F#m]years [Bm]of practice,
[F#m]love and d[Bm]evotion,
[D]well it's all coming down [G]to [D]my duds
The clothes [Em]I've made [F#]for man,
for [Bm]the man who ruled the [D]land,
since [G]man born from tad[A]poles in [D]the mud
I [A]have a skin [Dbm]now,
[D]bright shade of lavender,[A]
[D]when you see me
it will make your ears [E]ache
And [A]I can't go out n[Dbm]ow,[D]
unless I'm in lavender[A],
[D]or I just might be burned at the [E]stake
[A]The jail I've built here
[D]Painted flat lavender
[A]With lov[D]ely purple flowers on the bars
[E]Who[A] could imagine
[D]Just changing [A]color schemes
Could [D]change everything [D]that you [E]are
