Intro: ( F Am ) x4
 
F                              Am
Yeah I'm a man, man, man, man, up, up in the air
       F                                                        Am
And I run around, round, round, round, round this town-town and act like I don't care
    F                     Am
So when you see me flying, by the planet's moon
           F                                             Am
You don't need to explain if everything's changed, just know I'm just like you
 
F    Am    F   Am    F   Am    F   Am
Huh, ha,  huh, ha,  huh, ha,  huh, ha
 
F                                       Am
So I pull the switch, the switch, the switch inside my head
            F                                                     Am
And I see black, black, green, and brown, brown, brown and blue, yellow, violets, red
F                      Am
And suddenly a light appears inside my brain
        F                                       Am
And I think of my ways, I think of my days and know that I have changed
 
F                      Am                  F                        Am
It's the colors you have, no need to be sad, it really ain't that bad
F                      Am                  F                   Am
It's the colors you have, no need to be sad, you've still got your health
 
F (hold)                        Am
So mistress, mistress have you been up to the roof?
         F                                                              Am
Yeah he shot himself, self, self, there's blood on the wall, 'cause he couldn't face the truth
      F                          Am
Oh, knock that down, leave the ground and find some space
     F                                                                 Am
And tell your friends, friends, friends, you'll be back again, gain, before it's too late
 
F                      Am                  F                        Am
It's the colors you have, no need to be sad, it really ain't that bad
 
Solo: ( F Am ) x4
 
    F                      Am                  F                        Am
Oh, it's the colors you have, no need to be sad, it really ain't that bad
F                      Am                  F                   Am
It's the colors you have, no need to be sad, you've still got your health
 
Break: ( F Am ) x4
        Ah ah
 
F                             Am
So I am a man, man, man, man, up, up in the air
        F                                              Am
And I float around, 'round, 'round this downtown, and know I shouldn't care
F                        Am
So when you see us there out in the open road
           F                                             Am
You don't need to explain, if everything's changed, just know that you don't know
 
         F      Am                              F              Am
We call it, life, oh yeah that's what we call it, you can call it
F              Am                                F                         Am
We call it, life, oh yeah that's what we call it, well you can't call it all
     NC           F Am F Am
Yeah we call it, all
                 F       Am F Am
That's right we call it all
              Bb  (hold)       F
We do it for love,      sweet love

Another way to play it is tune guitar half way between DGCFAD and standard and use G major for F and Bm for Am. Love the tab though

Excellent, thank you! Can you add one "brown" and remove one "friends"? I think that's more accurate.
