[G] [D] [Em]
[C] [Am] [C]

[VERSE]

[G] I'll be the grapes fermented
[D]bottled and served with the [Em]table set in my f[C]inest suit

like a perfect gentlemen

[G] I'll be the fire escape that's
[D]bolted to the[Em] ancient brick
where [C]you will sit and contemplate your day

Instrumental (Repeat intro)

[VERSE]

[G] I'll be the waterwings that
[D]save you if you start[Em] drowning
in an [C]open tab when your judgement's on the brink

[G] I'll be the phonograph that
[D]plays your favorite [Em]albums back
as your [C]lying there drifting off to sleep [Am]

[G] I'll be the platform shoes and
u[D]ndo what heredity's [Em]done to you
You won't ha[C]ve to strain to look into my eyes

[G] I'll be your winter coat
[D]buttoned and zipped straight[Em] to the throat With the collar[C] up so

you won't catch a cold

[BRIDGE]

[Em] I want to take you f[G]ar from the cynics in this t[C]own
And kiss you on the [Em]mouth
We'll cut out bodies f[C]ree from the tethers of this s[G]cene,
Start a brand new colo[Em]ny
Where everything will ch[C]ange, We'll give ourselves new na[G]mes
identities e[Em]rased
The sun will heat the gr[C]ounds under our bare f[G]eet in this
brand new colony,[D] this brand new co[Em]lony [C] [G] [D]
