Blue Lips

Dm


[Verse]
Dm                         Bb
he stumbled into faith and thought,
         F              C
"God, this is all there is?"
Dm                       Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
      F      C
and began to breathe
Dm                          Bb
and all the gods in all the worlds
                     F   E    Dm B  C
began colliding on a backdrop of blue


[Chorus]
Gm    F
blue lips
F    Dm         (Dsus2) (open D) x8
blue veins


[Verse]
Dm                           Bb
he took a step but then felt tired
              F             C
he said, I'll rest a little while
Dm                         Bb
but when he tried to walk again
     F      C
he wasn't a child
Dm                         Bb
and all the people hurried past
                          F E Dm B C
real fast and no one ever smiled


[Chorus]
Gm    F
blue lips
F    Dm
blue veins
          Dm           C/G         Dm/A
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Gm    F
blue lips
F    Dm
blue veins
          Dm           C/G         Dm/A            (open D) x8
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away


[Verse]
Dm                         Bb
he stumbled into faith and thought,
        F               C
"God, this is all there is?"
Dm                        Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
      F      C
and began to breathe
Dm                        Bb
and no one saw and no one heard
          F        C
they just followed lead
Dm                       Bb
the pictures in his mind awoke
      F      C
and began to breed

Dm                                     Bb
they started off beneath the knowledge tree
                                               F
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
                                 C
and, marching along the railroad tracks,
                                    Dm
they smile real wide for the camera lenses
Dm                          Bb
they made it past the enemy lines
                                        F  E Dm B C   F E Dm B C
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines


[Chorus]

          Dm           C/G         Dm/A

Gm F            Dm C/G  Dm/A
blue...the most human   color...
