Noah Gundersen - Painted Blue Chords

[Intro]
C/E F G C x2
 
[Verse 1]
  C/E     F        G              C
I read my horoscope and abandoned all my hope
C/E       F              G       Am
“This was all a joke, we thought you knew”
     C/E   F       G        D/A
Pull heavy blankets over my head
    C/E      F  G           C
And make the bed a swimming pool
 
[Verse 2]
     C/E      F            G          C
Then tie some cinder blocks around my ankles
    C/E       F         G      Am
And apply the labels of all my fears
   C/E     F       G             D/A
My worst intentions, the selfish engines
     C/E       F      G             C
That drive the pistons and turn the gears
 
[Chorus]
    F       C        F    C
And light a fire and burn away
F       Am            F     C
All the efforts of my glory days
   F     C        F       C
As my reflection, painted blue
       F      Am          F            C
Says, “I will always be a part of you”
 
[Interlude]
C/E F G C x2
 
[Verse 3]
  C/E      F               G        C
I wrote my number down and then got turned around
  C/E        F             G         Am
I parked the car, but then forgot my place
  C/E          F      G           D/A     C/E
I wandered the desert, despite my efforts
F             G            C
Wound up like Moses at the gates
 
[Chorus]
    F       C        F    C
And light a fire and burn away
F       Am            F     C
All the efforts of my glory days
   F     C        F       C
As my reflection, painted blue
              Am          F            C
Says, “I will always be a part of you”
 
[Interlude]

C/E F G C
 
[Verse 4]
  C/E    F         G             C
I wanted desperately something I couldn’t see
  C/E      F             G           Am
A blinding light, always just out of reach
    C/E     F       G             D/A   C/E
The ancient specter, the blind director
F   G             C
The sirens on the beach
 
[Chorus]
            C        F    C
And light a fire and burn away
F       Am            F     C
All the efforts of my glory days
   F     C        F       C
As my reflection, painted blue
              Am          F            C
Says, “I will always be a part of you”
 
[Outro]
    F     C       F    C    G/B
So heaven help me if I stay
       Am           F       C
Heaven help me if I go away
  G/B  Am      F      C
I’ve forgotten how to pray
           G       F        Fm  Gsus4/D  C
But heaven help me anyway
