[Intro] G D Em C C Am [Verse]
G
I'll be the grapes fermented

D                           Em              C
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
like a perfect gentlemen
G
I'll be the fire escape that's

D             Em                  C
bolted to the ancient brick Where you will sit
and contemplate your day [Instrumental] G D Em C C Am [Verse]
G
I'll be the waterwings that

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

D                   Em                  C
plays your favorite Albums back as your lying there

                Am
drifting off to sleep

G
I'll be the platform shoes

D                    Em                       
undo what heredity's done to you 

          C
You won't have to strain

                G
to look into my eyes

G
I'll be your winter coat

D                            Em                     C
buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up so

                    Em 
you won't catch a cold
[Bridge]
Em                 C                           G                                    
I want to take you far from the cynics in this town

                    Em
And kiss you on the mouth

                     C                             G
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,

                      Em
Start a brand new colony

                      C                                G
Where everything will change, We'll give ourselves new names

            Em
identities erased

                      C                      G
The sun will heat the grounds Under our bare feet in this

               D                      Em
brand new colony,  this brand new colony
