A Brighter Shade Of Blue(Chords)

	        verse 1 
 G 
Like flowers at your mother's wedding 
               C 
The brighter shade of blue 
 G                                C 
I'm clutching to the way I felt about you 
   G 
Before the bags under my eyes 
         C 
From tossing in my bed at night 
  G            Am     C 
Now I know I never really loved you

verse 2 
 G                                            C 
Your parents tied a knot just like the one that's in my chest 
  G                                 C 
The home they built is broken from the silence 
 G 
You hold the past over your head 
    C 
Drowning in your self regret 
 G              Am             C 
I'll never be enough for what you wanted 


Chorus 
G            D               C 
I'll never know what's good for me 
   G           D                                                                                -- 
So go ahead, tear me down 
          G 
'Cause I am weaker than I seem 
      D                  G                             Am 
Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend 
             G 
That you're not wasting space in my head 



verse 3 
 G                                     C 
The record keeps on skipping all the songs you love the most 
  G                                  C 
You're everything I hate about the east coast 
 G                                  C 
You always said that I would be a warmth that you could hold 
          G             Am         C 
You are only just a blanket that always left my feet cold 


Chorus 
Em           D                  C      G 
I'll never know what's good for me 
              Em      D 
So go ahead, tear me down 
                   G      C 
'Cause I am weaker than I seem 
 Em         D                  C                         G 
Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend 
 Am          Em                  C 
That you're not wasting space in my head 



Bridge 
 Am        G                              D 
Now I'm shaking, you're drying in the breEEeze 
Am          C        G 
I've been trying to wash the memories out of our sheets

'Cause I am weaker than I seem

You're not a waste of space to me 


Outro 
  G 
Like flowers at your father's wedding 
                C 
The brightest shade of blue 
 G                               C 
I'm questioning the way I feel about you
