            A7             A7sus4           C
Pale yellow scratching at, scratching at my ear,
            A7           A7sus4         C
Pale yellow touching to, touching to my rear
C/E                Ebdim
  Forever tangled,   forever mustard,
Dmin7        G7          C
  Forever my first word's beer,
C/E               Ebdim
  Forever yellow,   wonder if I'll muster
Dmin7      G7         C
  Anything other than fear

C             A7                 A7sus4            C
 Pale yellow, wanting something, wanting something clear,
             A7              A7sus4        C
Pale yellow, daunting task,  cannot be that near
C/E                Ebdim
  Forever leering,   forever dashing,
Dmin7       G7       C
  Forever looking to   peers,
C/E               Ebdim
  Forever hollow,   that's worse than yellow,
Dmin7         G7       C             Ebdim
  This is the color of   tears,
Dmin7         G7       C
  This is the color of   tears

A7         A7sus4       C
   Running scared,
A7        A7sus4        C
  Running scared

            A7          A7sus4          C
Pale yellow holding on, brace myself to stand,
             A7         A7sus4       C
Tell myself it is okay, taking my own hand
C/E                Ebdim
  Forever peering,   into the water,
Dmin7        G7         C
  Returning back to the    sea,
C/E                   Ebdim
  Under the sea foam,   where I have come from,
Dmin7   G7    C
Breathing freely

C/E Ebdim

C/E              Ebdim              Dmin7 G7 C
  Forever yellow,  forever yellow.
