Interlude: (do ICP, 4x)
(Do stanza chords)
I’m young enough to think that the world looks good in pink
But as far as I can see that ain’t enough for me
Some people hear what you’re saying, they pull you by the strings
I’m having troubles taking things day by day
Ref 2:
AbWhen I see you I see red and grBbeen
GmYou’re like the biggest tree I’ve ever Cmseen
But it cuts Abyou down, oh down to sizeBb  
The apple of my Abeyes is rotting in the groundBb

 Cm(Pause)                                         G(Pause)
Now don’t you try to ask me what that means?
 Cm(Pause)                                       G(Pause)
It’s just like asking me to tell you my dreams
 Cm(Pause)                          G  
I would have told you long ago
But now it seems yoAbu’re far awayBb  
Here comes a loony bin, Abcome to take me awayBb  Gm  
You put a scar in Abmy twisted faceG  
In the yeaAbrbook I look out of placeG
