C#
[Verse 1]
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
Well I got here by boat and I don't intend to stay
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
The town clerk's black coat is already turning grey
F# F#maj7
I look out
F# F#maj7
A#m
and I doubt
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
I've been here one day and already things feel cruel
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
An old lady's cursing at somebody next to you
F# D#
I look out and I shout
[Chorus]
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
F# F#maj7 F# F#maj7
I used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues
C# G# D#m C#
I look out, this town felt so gold from the shores
G# D#m F# C#
I look out and I don't want to see any more
[Verse 2]
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
The people are trained in hate, sending guns to kill
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
Already we're forgetting what we were put here to do
F# F#maj7
I look out
F# F#maj7
A#m
and I cry
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
And trees are falling at no man's expense
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
Greed, jealousy, a body up for rent
F# F#maj7
I look out
F# F#maj7
D#
and I shout
[Chorus]
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
F# F#maj7 F# F#maj7
I used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues
C# G# D#m C#
I look out, this town felt so gold from the shores
G# D#m F# C#
I look out and I don't want to see any more
[Verse 3]
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
An empathy forgotten with no man's grace
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
I can't recall the last time I saw a true face
F# F#maj7
I look out
F# F#maj7
A#m
and I die
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
Words are bombs, bombs are words
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
I miss the oblivion of being a young girl
F# F#maj7
I look out,
F# F#maj
D#
I shout
[Chorus]
D#m A#sus4 D#m A#sus4
Well I'm shimmering in gold, shimmering in view
F# F#maj7 F# F#maj7
I used to dream in colors, now I dream in blues

I look out, this town felt so gold from the shores
G# D#m F# C#
I look out and I don't want to see any more
G# D#m F# C#
I look out and I don't want to see any more
