E D A E
[Verse 1]
E D
Multicolored faces, and red hands and blue hands
A E
Grasp at the shapes in his mind
E D
Blackbirds and bluebirds are resting on his shoulder
A E
Waiting for their moment to fly
D A E
Multicolored feathers against the sky
(same chords progression)
Silver shadows spread over the landscape
Draped over the background as a veil
And were getting drunk while we look into sunrise
(mute)
Singing songs of men who had it all but died in jail
[Chorus]
E D
Whatever forever
A E
We keep our heads up high Our voices strong
E D
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever
A E
The ways of the world, where I belong
[Verse 2]
E
We got lost in the middle of the desert
We prayed for a little luck, we came out smiling
We looked up above we saw the black and blue birds flying
The colors against the sky
D A E
And I know one day they’ll die
D A E
Cause I know one day you’ll die
D A E
Cause even multicolored angels die
[Chorus]
E D
But whatever forever
A E
We keep our head up high
E D
But whatever forever
A E
We keep our head up high
