Elliott Smith – Bled White (Guitar)

G 
I'm a color reporter

Em                C
(Rose City on the 409)

G                        Em
But the city's been bled white

                   C
(White city on the yellow line)

G
And the doctor orders

Em                                C                              
(Drinking to distraction's just a waste of time)

G                   Em             C
Drinks all night to take away this curse

       Em       C         D       
But it makes me feel much worse

     Am    C
Bled white

G
So I wait for the F-Train

Em                 C
(White city on the yellow line)

G                                 Em
And connect through a friend of mine

                 C
(White city to a friend of mine)

G
To a yesterday dream

Em                            C
(Yesterday a dream was just a waste of time)

G                            Em               C
Cause I'd have to be high to track the sunset down

    Em          C     D
And paint this paling town

     Am    C G
Bled white

   A
So here it comes with a blank expression

 Am                                          C
'Specially for me, cause he knows I feel the same

      A
Cause happy and sad come in quick succession

Am                 C      D        G       Bm F Em C
I'm never going to become what you became

G
Don't you dare disturb me

Em                   C
(Don't complicate my peace of mind)

G
While I'm balancing my past

Em                   C
(Don't complicate my peace of mind)

G
Cause you can't help or hurt me

Em                                C
(The anger, being mean was just a waste of time)

G                      Em                 C
Like it already has, I may not seem quite right

    Em      C           D
But I'm not fucked, not quite

     Am    C
Bled white

    Am     D
Bled white
