Colony House - Take It Slow

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
D G D A
D G D A

[Verse 1]
D
Sh-sh-shiver and put your hand in the river

Set the bottle afloat
G
Send the future a note
D
Tell yourself to be bold
A
Tell yourself to be bold
G
‘Cause it’s gonna get dark
A
And you’re gonna lose sight
D
But the future is bright

For those who don’t lose heart

[Pre-Chorus 1]
D G
So we might as well start ‘cause we’re falling apart
D
Yeah, we’re falling apart

I’m a rose in a jar

I’m a rose in a jar

[Chorus]
G
I-I-I

Want to be alive
E
While I am alive

While I am alive
G
Oh, I-I

Want to feel the light
E
Color in my eyes
Bb A D G D
So I can see clearly that this is all really a fight
A D G D A
Oh, a fight for my life

[Verse 2]
D
River
A
Like a rippling mirror
D G
Is the child inside or did he run for his life
D
Did he run for his life when times were tough
G
When the light was lost?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em A7
These nights are long but I’m holding on

[Chorus]
G
I-I-I

Want to be alive
E
While I am alive

While I am alive (I’m a rose in a jar, I’m a rose in a jar)
G
Oh, I-I

Want to feel the light
E
Color in my eyes
Bb A D G
So I can see clearly that this is all really a fight
D G
A fight to survive
D G
It’s clearly a fight
D
A fight for my life

[Bridge]
Em
Oh, so fight for your life

Fight to the death
A
Fight to survive
G
Fight for the rest of the time you have left on this planet

No need to panic
A
Fight for the moment
