| G            |


[Verse 1]
Em               G      Gadd9
 I'm not certain I'm not a ghost
Am       Amadd9  Em           Bm           C
 Is this free    will or am I doing as I'm told?
Em      Gadd9
 I know shadows follow the rules
Am             Em
 But what if tonight
                Bm            D
By the mercy of light I could choose?


[Chorus 1]
C                 Am
 Watercolor lucid dreams
             G
I'll paint a future
             D
That I can redeem
C                      D           Em
 For just one precious third of my life
        Bm        G
I'm not hypnotized by the glow of a screen
                     D
Or the darkness I've seen


[Post-Chorus 1]
           Am  G  C
With these tired  eyes
     Am   G  D
I've seen enough for tonight


[Instrumental]
| Em     | Em     | G      | G      | Am     | Em     | Bm     | C     |


[Verse 2]
Em                    D/F#        G
 As my eyes close, my guards come down
Am                Em
 An armistice was signed
             Bm            C
Predator and prey on equal ground
Em                        D/F#    G
 I lose my balance at the water's edge
Am           Em                Bm              D
 A Freudian slip but I can't remember what was said


[Chorus 2]
C           D     Em
 Watercolor vivid dreams
      D        G
Under lock and key
            Gadd9                  D                           Bm7
Vague silhouettes are all I've got left till I fall back asleep
C                 D   Em
 An afterimage of the divine
           D        G
Or just my restless mind
            Gadd9                   D                 Dadd2  D
A broken cassette can't help but forget and fade over time


[Post-Chorus 2]
     Am    G  C
I'll press rewind
             Am  G    D
Twenty-seven thousand times
        Gadd9    C6    Gadd9    C6
Give or take


[Bridge]
             Gadd9
I'll paint a future
             C6    Gadd9
That I can redeem
             C6
I'll paint a future


[Outro]
C6          D     Gadd9
 Watercolor vivid dreams
C6          D     Gadd9
 Watercolor vivid dreams
C6          D     Gadd9
 Watercolor vivid dreams
             C6                 D     Gadd9
I'll paint a future, watercolor vivid dreams
C6  D            Gadd9    C6    D     Gadd9
    I'll paint a future
C6  D            Gadd9    C6    D     Gadd9
    I'll paint a future
