capo: 2nd fret
[intro]
F C Dm Am
[verse]
F C
Green was the color of the grass
Dm Am
Where i used to read at centennial park
F C Dm Am
I used to think i would meet somebody there
F C
Teal was the color of your shirt
Dm Am
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop
F C Dm Am
You used to work at to make a little money
[chorus]
C
Time, curious time
Dm
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
C Dm
Were there clues i didn’t see?
C Dm
and isn’t it just so pretty to think
C
All along there was some
Dm
Invisible string
F C Dm Am
Tying you to me?
F C Dm Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[verse]
F C
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab
Dm Am
On your first trip to l.A
F C Dm Am
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
F C
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip
Dm Am
Getting lunch down by the lakes
F C Dm Am
She said i looked like an american singer
[chorus]
C
Time, mystical time
Dm
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
C Dm
Were there clues i didn’t see?
C Dm
and isn’t it just so pretty to think
C
All along there was some
Dm
Invisible string
F C Dm Am
Tying you to me?
F C Dm Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[bridge]
Am
a string that pulled me
Gm F
out of all the wrong arms
C
Right into that dive bar
Gm F
something wrapped all of my past
C
Mistakes in barbed wire
Gm F
chains around my demons
C Gm
Wool to brave the seasons
F C
One single thread of gold
F C Dm Am
Tied me to you
[verse]
F C
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
Dm Am
For the boys who broke my heart
F C Dm Am
Now i send their babies presents
F C
Gold was the color of the leaves
Dm Am
When i showed you around centennial park
F C Dm Am
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
[chorus]
C
Time, wondrous time
Dm
Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies
C
And it’s cool
Dm
Baby, with me
C Dm
and isn’t it just so pretty to think
C
All along there was some
Dm
Invisible string
Gm F C
Tying you to me?
Gm F C
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Gm F C Gm F C
Me—– ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
