Intro

D C G D
[Verse 1]
D C
Multicolored faces, and red hands and blue hands
G D
Grasp at the shapes in his mind
D C
Blackbirds and bluebirds are resting on his shoulder
G D
Waiting for their moment to fly
C G D
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]
D C
Whatever forever
G D
We keep our heads up high Our voices strong
D C
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever
G D
The ways of the world, where I belong
[Verse 2]
D
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
C G D
And I know one day they’ll die
C G D
Cause I know one day you’ll die
C G D
Cause even multicolored angels die
[Chorus]
D C
But whatever forever
G D
We keep our head up high
D C
But whatever forever
G D
We keep our head up high
