[A] It must be the colors and the kids that [D] keep me alive
Cause the [A] music's pouring me to [D] death
It must just be [A] the colors and the kids that [D] keep me alive
Cause I wanna go right [A] away to January 9th
[D]
I built a [A] shack with an old friend He was someone I [D] could learn from
Someone I could [A] become Will you meet me down on a [D] sandy beach?
We can roll up our [A] jeans So the tide [D] won't get us below the knees
[A] Yellow hair, you are a [D] funny bear Yellow
[A] hair, you are such a [D] funny bear
Slender [E] fingers [A]
would hold me Slender [D] limbs would hug me
And you could say [A] my name Like you knew my [D] name
I could [A] stay here Become someone
[D]

[D] It's [A] so hard to go in the city Cause [D] you wanna say hello to everybody
It's [A] so hard to go into the city Cause you [D] wanna say hey, we love you to everybody
When we were [A] teenagers We wanted to be the [D] sky
All we wanna do is go [A] to rare places And try to [D] stay out here
It must be the [A] colors and the kids that [D] keep me alive
Cause the [A] music is pouring me to [D] death It must just be the [A] colors
And it must just be the [D] kids that keep me [A] alive
