[G]Green was the color of the [D/F#]grass where I used to [Em7]read at Centennial [Em9/B]Park
I [G]used to think I would [D/F#]meet somebody [Em7]there [Em9/B]
[G]Teal was the color of your [D/F#]shirt when you were 1[Em7]6 at the yogurt [Em9/B]shop
You [G]used to work at to [D/F#]make a little mo[Em7]ney [Em9/B]
[D]Time curious time gave me no [Em7]compasses
Gave me no signs were there [D]clues I didn't see? [Em7]
[D]And isn't it just so pretty to [Em7]think
All along there [D]was some invisi[Em7]ble string
Tying you to [G]me? [D/F#] [Em7] [Em9/B]
[G]Bad was the blood of the [D/F#]song in the cab on your [Em7]first trip to L[Em9/B]A
You [G]ate at my favorite [D/F#]spot for din[Em7]ner [Em9/B]
[G]Bold was the waitress on our [D/F#]three-year trip getting [Em7]lunch down by the [Em9/B]Lakes
She [G]said I looked like an A[D/F#]merican sin[Em7]ger [Em9/B]
[D]Time curious time gave me no [Em7]compasses
Gave me no signs were there [D]clues I didn't see? [Em7]
[D]And isn't it just so pretty to [Em7]think
All along there [D]was some invisi[Em7]ble string
Tying you to [G]me? [D/F#] [Em7]...A [Em9/B]string that pulled me
[Am]..Out of all the [G/B]wrong arms right in[D]to that dive bar
[Am]...Something wrapped [G/B]all of my past mis[D]takes in barbed wire
[Am]Chains around my [G/B]demons [D]wool to brave the [Am]seasons
One [G/B]single thread of [D]gold tied me to [G]you [D/F#] [Em7] [Em9/B]
[G]Cold was the steel of my [D/F#]axe to grind for the [Em7]boys who broke my [Em9/B]heart
[G]Now I send their [D/F#]babies pre[Em7]sents [Em9/B]
[G]Gold was the color of the [D/F#]leaves when I showed you a[Em7]round Centennial [Em9/B]Park
[G]Hell was the journey [D/F#]but it brought me hea[Em7]ven [Em9/B]
[D]Time wondrous time gave me the [Em7]blues and then purple pink skies
And it's [D]cool, Baby with me [Em7]
[D]And isn't it just so pretty to [Em]think
[D]And isn't it just so pretty to [Em7]think
All along there [D]was some invisi[Em7]ble string
Tying you to [G]me? [D/F#] [Em7] [Em9/B] [G]
