Thrice – The Color Of The Sky (Guitar)

   Ab
My first and foremost memory

    Fm                          C
Is staring up in wonder at the wall

   Ab
It circumscribed the city

      Fm                              C
They said beyond it nothing dwelt at all

    Ab
But I

     Fm                                C
Came to wonder if the stories all were true

   Ab
So one night I made my mind up

    Fm                                   C
I resolved that I would find a passage through

    Ab
And as I made my plans

              Fm                                 C
My head would spin and swiftly dance between the whys

              Ab
Like why the roads were all dead ends

             Fm                            C
Why we'd no word to name the color of the sky

    Ab
And why

            Bb                               C
Did these tunnels lead me deep beneath the streets?

             Ab
When I was through I lit my lamp

                Fm                                 C
With something soft and green and damp beneath my feet

                     C/G
And I don't know the way

          Bb Fm
But I know

          Ab
That I belong out here

                                           Bb
On this journey that I never thought I'd make

           Cm
Setting out

             Ab
Across some new frontier

                                       C
A new horizon with each eager step I take

        Ab
As the stars begin to fade

            Fm                                C
I stride to meet the breaking day and breathe it in

    Ab
It rakes over my tongue

              Fm                               C
So crisp and cool inside my lungs, against my skin

   Ab
And I

         Bb                                 C
See the colors burst and bloom beneath the dawn

         Ab
Oh, the brilliance overwhelms me

             Fm                             C
Leaves me wondering what new world I'm even on

                     C/G
And I don't know the way

         Bb Fm
But I know

          Ab
That I belong out here

                                           Bb
On this journey that I never thought I'd make

           Cm
Setting out

           Ab
Across a new frontier

                                         C/G Bb Ab
A new horizon with each eager step I take

                 C
I don't know the way

       Fm
But I know

                   Ab
That I belong out here

                                          Bb
On this journey that I never thought I'd make

        Cm
Setting out

             Ab
Across some new frontier

                                      C
A new horizon with each eager step I take
