Gmaj7               Em                C
I spent a lot of my time looking at blue, 

Cm                             G
The colour of my room and my mood: 

               Bb       Am        G
Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth;

                           Bb              Am       
The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out, 

G                          Bb           Am      Gmaj7     Gm7  Dm7
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about. 
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7                 Fm               Em7
When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in, 

     Cm7               G
Go blowing my mind on God:

                  Bb             Am
The light in the dark, with the neon arms,

G            Bb         Am        G 
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms, 

                  Bb         Am          G
The head of the good soul department. 
Gm G Gm G4 Gadd9 [Chorus 1]
   Bb          Fm
I see myself suddenly 

D7                   F7sus4
On the piano, as a melody.

     Bb              D7 
My terrible fear of dying 

     Eb              D
No longer plays with me, 

Gm                   Fm         Ebmaj7
For now I know that I'm needed 

D7
    For the symphony. 
Gm Dm7 Gm Dm7 [Verse 3]
Gmaj7        Em        C
I associate love with red, 

Cm                                  G
The colour of my heart when she's dead; 

           Bb             Am        G
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies, 

           Bb         Am         G
Red in my eyes from emotional ties, 

       Bb           Am      Gmaj7   Gm7  Dm7
Manipulation, the danger signs. 
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7                  Fm                  Em7
The more I think about sex, the better it gets. 

Cm7                        G
Here we have a purpose in life: 

               Bb       Am
Good for the blood circulation, 

G           Bb          Am         G 
Good for releasing the tension, 

                Bb      Am         G
The root of our reincarnations. 
Gm G Gm G4 Gadd9 [Chorus 2]
   Bb          Fm
I see myself suddenly 

D7                   F7sus4
On the piano, as a melody.

     Bb              D7 
My terrible fear of dying 

     Eb              D
No longer plays with me, 

Gm                   Fm         Ebmaj7
For now I know that I'm needed 

D7
    For the symphony. 
Gm Dm7 Gm Dm7 [Outro]
Gmaj7                       Em              C 
       I spend a lot of my time looking at blue--

    Cm7             G      Bb    Am
No wonder that I blew it! 

G     Bb      Am      Gmaj7     Gm7     Dm7
              Ooh...
