Em

[Verse 1]
D                                              Cadd2
Four thousand miles I wandered out there for a drop of love
            G/B                               D G/B  D
Remember we soared like the doves, now we are strangers
D                                                  Cadd2
So I stumbled back home like a stone, Once I stood straight and tall
               G/B                           D G/B  D
These days I'm building walls surrounded by danger

[Chorus]
        C                   G/B               D
Hey Colorado, Don't tell me what I know about life itself
        C                G/B                     D
Hey Colorado, Wasn't too long ago, Took all your letters down
                    C                              G/B
Passed bits of your heart around, Placed them back safe and sound
Em          D       G/B  Cadd2
Back on the lovers' shelf
Em          D       G/B  Cadd2     Em

[Verse 2]
D                                             Cadd2
Buddha and Jesus and Gandhi, The girl sitting next to me
            G/B                            D  G/B  D
All say the same you see, Let's talk about love
D                                           Cadd2
Look at me pour out my soul in some other's kitchen now
                 G/B                        D  G/B  D
You got what you wanted somehow, You wanted blood

[Chorus]
        C                   G/B               D
Hey Colorado, Don't tell me what I know about life itself
        C                G/B                     D
Hey Colorado, Wasn't too long ago, Took all your letters down
                    C                              G/B
Passed bits of your heart around, Placed them back safe and sound
Em          D       G/B  Cadd2
Back on the lovers' shelf
Em          D       G/B  Cadd2     Em

[Bridge]
     A                                               D
Your unconscious streams like mythical dreams most appeal to me
     A                                                   G/B
What lies deep below in the depths of your soul's what I fail to see
           D
It's all a mystery, It's all a mystery

[Instrumental]
D       Cadd2       G/B      A7  Bm7/A  C7/A  A7

[Chorus]
        C                   G/B               D
Hey Colorado, Don't tell me what I know about life itself
        C                G/B                     D
Hey Colorado, Wasn't too long ago, Took all your letters down
                    C                              G/B
Passed bits of your heart around, Placed them back safe and sound
Em          D       G/B  Cadd2
Back on the lovers' shelf
Em          D       G/B  Cadd2
Back on the lovers' shelf
Em          D       G/B  Cadd2
Back on the lovers' shelf
