More than Emsufficient doubt that these colors you see

You Emcontract it the day you accept all you see

[Verse 1]

Here is a scale, weigh it out and you'll find easily

More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see

Were picked in advance by some careful hand

F G7

With an absolute concept of beauty

[Verse 2]

They are smeared and these blurs come in random order

To color the eyes of your former lovers

Hers were green like July except when she cried

F G7

They were red

[Verse 3]

Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat

You contract it the day you accept all you see

Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be

F G7

A reflection of something we're missing

[Verse 4]

And language just happened, it was never planned

And it's inadequate to describe where I am

In the room of my house where the light has never been

F G7

Waiting for this day to end

[Chorus]

F G

And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore

Em Am G

Everything that we hate or adore

F G

Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more

Em Am G

So tell me then, what was it for?

F G C

Oh tell me, what was it for?

[Outro]

C Em Am F G7
