Intro
G D Em C Am x2

G
I'll be the grapes fermented
D                 Em
Bottled and served with the table set
C                                       G                              
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman

G
I'll be the fire escape
D                Em
That's bolted to the ancient brick
 C                                     G                                    
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

G D Em C Am

G
I'll be the waterwings
D                         Em
That save you if you start drowning
C                                          G
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink

G
I'll be the phonograph
D                       Em
That plays your favorite albums back
C                                      G
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep

Am x2

G
I'll be the platform shoes
D                       Em
And undo what heredity's done to you
C                                       G
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes

G
I'll be your winter coat
D                   Em  
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
C                                      Em 
With the collar up so you won't catch cold

Em                C
I want to take you far
                       G 
From the cynics in this town
                   Em 
And kiss you on the mouth
                    C
We'll cut our bodies free
                        G
From the tethers of this scene
                 Em
Start a brand new colony
                     C
Where everything will change
                        G
We'll give ourselves new names
           Em
Identities erased
                     C
The sun will heat the ground
              G
Under our bare feet
                  D
In this brand new colony
              Em         C     G    D
