Fan Of Shades chords

Capo 2nd fret

Intro: [Am] [C] [Em] [D] [Am]

[G]I picked a colour long ago[Em] to suit my tawdry tales of w[C]oe,
[Am]and now it doesn't fit.
[G]My friend who's a fan of shades t[Em]raveled to the ever gl[C]ades,
[Am]and asked if I'd come with.
[G]There's no one that I would rather see,[Em] she's a special friend to [C]me.
But I [Am]feel I'd be leaving you behind.
[G]That's the game of love and war, c[Em]hoose the side you're fighting f[C]or.
[Am]See if there's a white flag to be raised.
[Am]I know it's not a fair assessment,
[Am]but I can't be asked to wrestle with the c[Em]olours of w[D]ho you've now b[C]ecome.
[Am]'Cause you and I, we're not the same, and ne[C]ither can be held to blame.
It's [Em]just the way the s[D]tory has to [C]end.
[G]Being here and being there.
[Em]There's no space for being w[C]here[Am] I feel I should be.
[G]Loneliness is like a drink,
[Em]think you're on the verge of s[C]inkin[Am]g when you tame the sea.
[Am]Interim's are good for suckers
[Am]feeling like they're down on luck,
[Em]and I'm not gonna dr[D]own in my own te[C]ars.
[Am]I can't ask you anymore to [C]be the one that I adore o[Em]nly when the ti[D]me is
right for [C]me.
So let's just [G]be

[OUTRO]

Aaah (and whistle)
