CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C G Am F C G C G Am F C G
And it's [C]blue as in cerulean
It's the [G]scent of new mown [Am]hay
[F]Laugh and turn the pages
When there's [C]nothing left to [G]say
And it's [C]true that a thing of brilliance
Can be [G]paled by dimmer [Am]light
[F]Spin the tale of ages
And [C]get me through this [G]night
CHORUS
[Am]Tragedy takes a [C]number
[F]Beauty [C]takes to [G]flight
[Am]Reason's on va[C]cation
And it's [F]killing [C]me to[G]night
There's a [C]row of oleander
That di[G]vides your house from [Am]mine
[F]Stifles words of anger
And [C]keeps the neighbours [G]blind
There's a [C]star set in the distance
Of a s[G]teely cold and [Am]grey
With [F]lights on the horizon
As we [C]look the other [G]way
And it's [C]blue as in cerulean
It's the [G]scent of new mown [Am]hay
[F]Laugh and turn the pages
When there's [C]nothing left to [G]say
And it's [C]true that a thing of brilliance
Can be [G]paled by dimmer [Am]light
[F]Spin the tale of ages
And [C]get us through this [G]night
CHORUS
[Am]Tragedy takes a [C]number
[F]Beauty [C]takes to [G]flight
[Am]Reason's on va[C]cation
And it's [F]killing [C]me to[G]night
There's a [C]music in the silence
Of a [G]spring that plays no [Am]more
A [F]desert in our future
And a [C]knocking at the [G]door
There's a [C]peace for the unknowing
There's a [G]warning to the [Am]wise
A [F]smile upon the faces
Of our [C]ruin in dis[G]guise
And it's [C]blue as in cerulean
It's the [G]scent of new mown [Am]hay
[F]Laugh and turn the pages
When there's [C]nothing left to [G]say
And it's [C]true that a thing of brilliance
Can be [G]paled by dimmer [Am]light
[F]Spin the tale of ages
