Conspiracy of Colors

G    Am            G/B       C       G      Am G/B C
I'm alone in a conspiracy of colors.
Asphyxiating black and a shockwave of others
Time won't let me pass her by like fate
I sit under a tree and cogitate
F                                    Am              G        Am    G/B               C
Take off my shoes and free my feet(my sole's in the tall, tall grass)
Days like this put dark clouds under my seat.

I race my alarm clock to greet the morning
Peek my face through the curtain, the sunshine is pouring
Let Nietsche go on with his rancorous horde
Most of those eggheads were out of their gourds

To prove my existence I need only to sing
In all these words have I said a thing?

Em C Em7 Am      (Em C Em7 Am)
This life was made for the Broken Hearted
You leave with less than with what you started
I can sit here and tell stories to myself
In the end it won't be very much help.

Dm C
Drunk and alone, I sleep in the dark(don't bother with mirrors)
Despite my best, things fall apart
…Em C Em7 Am A

(interlude)
G Bb D (x 3)
And the blade goes round and round 
And the bottle goes round and round
And the blame goes round and round
C 
Round and round
Em 
Round and round
Eb	 	     D   D7   
And settles on my head.
