Vincent Chords by Nofx

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
Sorry, sorry [D] night, _ _ _ _ paint your [Em] palette blue and grey.
[E] _ _ Look [D] out on a summer day, _ [A] with eyes that know that darkness [D] is my fault.
_ _ _ _ Shadows on the hill, _ _ _ _ stitch the [Em] trees that kept us [C#] chilled.
_ [E] _ _ Dance the [D] breeze and win a guild, [A] in cut-up frogs of snowy living [D] land.
_ _ _ Now I [E] understand, _ [G] _ _ what you're trying [D] to say [A] to [B] me.
How you suffered for [E] your sanity, _ [Em] _ _ how you tried to set [B] them free.
They were not listening, [E] I know how, _ _
[G] _ _ perhaps they'll [D] listen now. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ Sorry, [D] sorry night, _ _ _ _ _ [Em] portrait's hung in empty halls.
[E] _ _ Bring the [D] dead to our neighbor's walls, [A] with lives that watched the world and [D] can't fall asleep yet. _ _
_ Like creatures that you've met, _ _ _ _ ragged [Em] men in ragged [B] clothes. _
[E] _ _ [D] Silver's the one, a bloody rose, [A] like twice as broken on the first [D] day of snow. _ _
_ Now I think [E] I know, _ _ _ what you're trying [D] to say [B] to me.
How you suffered [E] for your sanity, _ _
[Em] _ how you tried to set [B] them free.
They were not listening, I'm [E] listening still, _ _ [G] _ perhaps they [D] never will.
_ _ _ _ But I could [E] not love you, _ [A] _ until your [D] love was through.
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] And when no home was left in sight, [G] on that sorry, sorry night.
[D] You took your [C] life as lovers [B] often do. _
[E] But I couldn't close you, Vincent.
[G] This world was never meant for [A] one as beautiful [D] as you.
