Veiled In Grey Chords

[Intro]
 
E
 
 
[Verse]
 
        A
It's in Estonia, It's up the creaky stairway, We sat in the wicker chair
                    E
You know the one we used to share
         A                           B                   E
And it's just the kind of thing that we don't talk about anymore
                   A
Remember when your sister was young, She wore a ring in her tongue, Got shown the door by your mum
                 E
And now she has a 5 year old son
         A                           B                    E
And it's just the kind of thing that she won't talk about anymore'
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A        B              C#m
I'll bet you wouldn't believe me
     B                          A
If I whispered in your ears and said
A     B          C#m
"I can see a pink elephant
         B                                A
And it's standing on the corner of the bed"
            A                                                   E
You'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head
 
 
[Verse]
 
           A
You were a girl, you weren't sure, You cared for your family anymore, Looked for the mother you had before
       E
And it shook them all to the core
         A                           B                    E
And it's just the kind of thing that you don't talk about anymore
 
              A
I recall your friend back home, She brought up a kid on her own, But he died before he had grown
                        E
So she gave you all the clothes that she'd sewn
         A                           B                    E
And it's just the kind of thing that she don't talk about anymore
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A        B               C#m
I'll bet you wouldn't believe me
     B                         A
If I whispered in your ear and said
A      B          C#m
"I can see a pink elephant
         B                                A
And it's standing on the corner of the bed"
 
      A        B               C#m
(and) I'll bet you wouldn't believe me
     B                         A
If I whispered in your ear and said
A     B          C#m
"I can see a pink elephant
         B                                A
And it's standing on the corner of the bed"
            A                                                    E
You'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head
 
[Outro]
 
     B        C#m
 
A                                                                E
You'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head
     B     C#m
 
      A                                                                E
Yeah, you'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head
     B     C#m
 
      A                                                                E
Yeah, you'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head
