verse :

G
i’ll be the grapes fermented
D Em C
bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit

where you will sit and contemplate your day

verse :

G
i’ll be the waterwings that
D Em
save you if you start drowning
C
in an open tab when your judgement’s on the brink

G
i’ll be the phonograph that
D Em
plays your favorite albums back
C Am
as your lying there drifting off to sleep

G
i’ll be the platform shoes and
D Em
undo what heredity’s done to you
C
you won’t have to strain to look into my eyes

G
i’ll be your winter coat
D Em C
buttoned and zipped straight to the throat with the collar up so

you won’t catch a cold

Em G C
i want to take you far from the cynics in this town
Em
and kiss you on the mouth
C G
we’ll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene ,
Em
start a brand new colony
C G
where everything will change , we’ll give ourselves new names
Em
identities erased
C G
the sun will heat the grounds under our bare feet in this
D Em C G D
brand new colony , this brand new colony
