[G]Green was the color of the [D]
grass where I used to [Em]read at Centennial [D]Park
I [G]used to think I would [D]meet somebody [Em] [D]there
[G]Teal was the color of your [D]shirt
when you were 1 [Em]6 at the yogurt [D]shop
You [G]used to work at to [D]make a little [Em] [D]money
[D]Time curious time gave me no [Em]compasses
Gave me no signs were there [D]clues I didn't [Em]see?
[D]And isn't it just so [Em]pretty to think
All along there [D]was some invisible string
Tying you to me? [G] [D] [Em] [D]
[G]Bad was the blood of the [D]song in
the cab on your [Em]first trip to [D]LA
You [G]ate at my favorite [D]spot for [Em]dinner [D]
[G]Bold was the waitress on our [D]
three-year trip getting [Em]lunch down by the [D]Lakes
She [G]said I looked like an [D]American singer [Em] [D]
[D]Time, mystical time
Cuttin' me [Em]open, then healin' me fine
Were there [D]clues I didn't [Em]see?
[D]And isn't it just so [Em]pretty to think
All along there [D]was some
Invisible [Em]string
Tying you to me? [G] [D] [Em] [D]
Ooh [G] [D] [Em] [D]
A string that pulled [Am]me
..Out of all the [G]wrong arms right [D]into that dive [Am]bar
...Something wrapped all of [G]my past [G]mistakes in barbed [Am]wire
Chains around my [G]demons
[G]wool to brave the [Am]seasons
One [G]single thread of gold [D]tied me to [G]you
[G]Cold was the steel of [D]my axe to
grind for the [Em]boys who broke my [D]heart
[G]Now I send their [D]babies presents [Em] [D]
[G]Gold was the color of the [D]leaves when
I showed you [Em]around Centennial [D]Park
[G]Hell was the journey but it [G]brought me heaven [Em] [D]
[D]Time, wondrous time
Gave me the [Em]blues and then
purple -pink skies
And it's [D]cool
Baby with [Em]me
[F]And isn't it just so [Em]pretty to think
All along there [D]was some
invisible [Em]string
Tying you to me? [G] [D] [Em] [D]
Ohh [G] [D] [Em] [D]
