A Brighter Shade Of Blue

G C G C G

[Verse 1]
 G
Like flowers at your mother's wedding
               C
The brighter shade of blue
 G                                C
I'm clutching to the way I felt about you
   G
Before the bags under my eyes
         C
From tossing in my bed at night
  G            Am     C
Now I know I never really loved you

[Verse 2]
 G                                            C
Your parents tied a knot just like the one that's in my chest
  G                                 C
The home they built is broken from the silence
 G
You hold the past over your head
    C
Drowning in your self regret
 G              Am             C
I'll never be enough for what you wanted


[Chorus]
G            D               C
I'll never know what's good for me
   G           D                                                                              
So go ahead, tear me down

          G
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
      D                  G                             Am
Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
             G
That you're not wasting space in my head


[Verse 3]
 G                                     C
The record keeps on skipping all the songs you love the most
  G                                  C
You're everything I hate about the east coast
 G                                  C
You always said that I would be a warmth that you could hold
          G             Am         C
You are only just a blanket that always left my feet cold


[Chorus]
Em           D                  C      G
I'll never know what's good for me
              Em      D
So go ahead, tear me down
                   G      C
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
 Em         D                  C                         G
Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
 Am          Em                  C
That you're not wasting space in my head


[Bridge]
 Am        G                              D
Now I'm shaking, you're drying in the breEEeze
Am          C        G
I've been trying to wash the memories out of our sheets

[Instrumental Strumming]

[Chorus]
 Em         D                   C                G
I'll never know what's good for me
       Em         D
So go ahead, tear me down
             G              C
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
 Em        D                C            G
Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
 Am              Em           C
That you're not wasting space in my head
Am            Em            C
You're not a waste of space to me


[Outro]
  G
Like flowers at your father's wedding
                C
The brightest shade of blue
 G                               C
I'm questioning the way I feel about you
