F   Gm Eb Bb
 
[Verse 1]
Bb                                                 F
 You wrote your autograph on the far side of the sky
                                                        Bb
 You recorded the falling rain, but you never told us why
                                             F
 You painted with fire, only the ashes now remain
                                                  F     Bb
 The monochrome desire you left us too young to explain
 
[Chorus]
                                  F  Bb
Will you lead us to an empty room?
                                 F  Bb
And frame it with the sky so blue
                                F  Bb
The little boy who saw the truth
                                F  Gm
He left us with international blue
                F  Gm
International blue
 
[Verse 2]
Bb                                             F
 Here's my gift to you, a soundtrack to the void
                                                   Bb
 The deepest of interludes, the myths that you destroyed
                                                F
 And I saw that colour, through a clear wide window
                                            Bb
 And I saw that colour, and I knew I had to go
 
[Chorus]
                                  F  Bb
Will you lead us to an empty room?
                                 F  Bb
And frame it with the sky so blue
                                F  Bb
The little boy who saw the truth
                                F  Gm
He left us with international blue
                F  Gm
International blue

[Chorus]
                                  F  Bb
Will you lead us to an empty room?
                                 F  Bb
And frame it with the sky so blue
                                F  Bb
The little boy who saw the truth
                                F  Gm
He left us with international blue
