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...
