Chords

[Verse 1]
    G
I'm blind and afraid

                   C
The colors of this sound like a shape

                       Bm
The feast of words you never could say

              C
And I'm torn apart

       G
In the sun, there is red

                  C
The epitaph of an old record player

                     Bm
The sweetness in the salt of her hair

                 C      C6
And there's no decision
[Interlude] G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 [Verse 2]
          G
I knew a girl once

                              Cmaj7
There were splinters from her thoughts

                  Bm
Unless you knew a god

                     Cmaj7
With kindness in her heart

         G
You're a dark one

                         C
With a knack for pushing boys off a cliff

                      Bm
And the messy eyes of ink-splattered fits

                        C
And it's all found in a page
[Chorus]
G
I need nothing more than my problems

                                      C
Just let me know when you've found them

G
You've got mirth and I've got snow hands

                                 C
Eyes fell and haven't come up since

Bm  D
Mary

          C
Damn, you scare me

   Bm   D  C
Oh Mary
[Verse 3]
G                    D
I know a place out beyond these pines

                                  C
Where the sky falls down with the cumulus cries

  G                 D
A winter song for a January type
I could tame my heart
        C
I could blind my eyes

    G
The river is an organ

        D
And the meadow is a church
For a strange inclination
     C
That fortune is a curse

      D
I'm a cryptic writer
I'm an ignorant fool
      G
I'm a poor excuse for poetry

C
Trying to play it cool

         Cm
I'm just trying to play it cool
[Bridge]
N.C.                        G
I need nothing more than my problems

                                      Cmaj7
Just let me know when you've found them

G
You've got tact and I've got bravado

                             Cmaj7
I'm a ghost and you are a shadow

G
I need nothing more than my problems

                                      Cmaj7
Just let me know when you've found them

G
You've got mirth and I've got snow hands

                                Cmaj7
Eyes fell and haven't come up since
[Outro]
Bm    D
Mary

          Cmaj7
Dare me, scare me

   Bm   D   Cmaj7   G
Oh Mary
