Bright Eyes – A Scale A Mirror And Those Indifferent Clocks (Guitar)

          C                  
Here is a scale, weigh it out and you'll find easily

          Em                            
More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see

     Am    
Were picked in advance by some careful hand 

        F                   G7
With an absolute concept of beauty 

        C                                            
They are smeared and these blurs come in random order

  Em                                     
To color the eyes of your former lovers

         Am                                             
Hers were green like July except when she cried

         F             G7
They were red

     C
Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat

   Em     
You contract it the day you accept all you see

    Am                        
Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be

   F                           G7
A reflection of something we're missing

   C
And language just happened, it was never planned

        Em 
And it's inadequate to describe where I am

      Am
In the room of my house where the light has never been

F                       G7
Waiting for this day to end

         F                         G                
And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore

Em                 Am       G  
Everything that we hate or adore

        F                     G
Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more

  Em                        Am   G
So tell me then, what was it for?

  F        G           C
Oh tell me, what was it for?
