Rainbow Veins Chords

* = Single Strum
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
High rise, veins of the avenue
                                     Am
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue.
 
Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you.
C
 Street lights glisten on the boulevard.
                                     Am
And cold nights make staying alert so hard.
                                                         F
For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard.
                                                 Dm
Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay.
F            G                      C
Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away?
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
Small town hearts of the New Year
                              Am
Brought down by gravity crystal clear.
Am
City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier.
C
Make hast, I feel your heartbeat
                                     Am
With new taste for speed, out on the street.
 
Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet.
F                                                        Dm
The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow.
F                       G                      C
The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know.
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
Am
And tell me when it rains
F
And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you
Dm                        G
And shoot it through your veins.
 
C
Cause your heart has a lack of color.
Am
And we should’ve known
Dm
That we’d grow up sooner or later
F               G                  C
Cause we wasted all our free time alone.
 
 
[Break]

[Verse 3]
C
Your nerves gather with the altitude
                                     Am
Exhale the stress so you don’t come unglued.
 
Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood.
C
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
 
The high tide could take me so far away.
Am
VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
F                                                             Dm
A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age.
      F                   G                     Am
Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align.
 
 
[Bridge]
Am           G/B      C
 We were the crashing whitecaps.
F
On the ocean (on the ocean).
Dm            G            Eb   Bb  F
What a lovely seaside holiday, away.
F               G         Am
A palm tree in Christmas lights.
Am
My emotion.
F                  G               Dm
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone.
F               G      C
As we spent the day alone.
 
 
[Break]
C     Am     Dm     F
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes
Am
And tell me when it rains
F
And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you
Dm                        G
And shoot it through your veins.
 
C
Cause your heart has a lack of color.
Am
And we should’ve known
Dm
That we’d grow up sooner or later
F               G                  C
Cause we wasted all our free time alone.
