[VERSE 1]
            Bbm                                        ( Gb/Bb )
Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so
              Bbm                              ( Gb/Bb )
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show
            Gb6
You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope
           Ebm                              Fm7            Gb
I hope you make it to the day you're twenty-eight years old
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
       Bbm                              ( Gb/Bb )
You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
       Bbm                              ( Gb/Bb )
You're spilling like an overflowing sink
       Gb6
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
               Ebm                               Gb-5   Bbm
And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink, mm..
 
 
[CHORUS]
n.c.          Gb
Everything is blue
 
His pills, his hands, his jeans
            Ab
And now I'm covered in the colors,
 
pulled apart at the seams
         Bbm
And it's blue,
         Db/Ab
and it's blue
              Gb
Everything is grey:
 
his hair, his smoke, his dreams
             Gb
And now he's so devoid of color,
 
he don't know what it means
         Bbm
And he's blue
         Db/Ab Ab
And he's blue
 
 
[VERSE 2]
         ( Bbm )
You were a vision in the morning when the light came through
            Bbm
I know I've only felt religion when I've lied with you
                Db/F
You said you'll never be forgiven 'til your boys are too
              Gb
And I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
       Bbm                              ( Gb/Bb )
You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
       Gb
You're spilling like an overflowing sink
       Bbm                               Fm7
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
               Gb
And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink, mm..
 
 
[CHORUS]
              Gb
Everything is blue
 
His pills, his hands, his jeans
            Ab
And now I'm covered in the colors,
 
pulled apart at the seams
         Bbm
And it's blue,
         Db/Ab
and it's blue
              Gb
Everything is grey:
 
his hair, his smoke, his dreams
             Gb
And now he's so devoid of color,
 
he don't know what it means
         Bbm
And he's blue
         Db/Ab Ab
And he's blue
 
 
[BRIDGE]
Gb             Gbmaj7              Db/Ab
   You were red      and you liked me   'cause I was blue,
           Bbm
   but you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky
           Db                                Dbadd9
   And you decided purple just wasn't for you
 
 
[FINAL CHORUS]
              Gb
Everything is blue
 
His pills, his hands, his jeans
            Ab
And now I'm covered in the colors,
 
pulled apart at the seams
         Bbm
And it's blue,
         Db/Ab Ab
and it's blue
n.c.          Gb
Everything is grey:
 
his hair, his smoke, his dreams
             Gb
And now he's so devoid of color,
 
he don't know what it means
         Bbm
And he's blue
         Db/Ab Ab
And he's blue

Sounds great transposed down 1/2 step with a capo on 1! Thanks for this! Way more interesting to play than the boring Am, F, C, G versions, and sounds way better!
