             Em           F          G    Am
(When your best friends are strung out)
               Em         F
You'll do everything you can
                G          Am
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
           Em      F       G   Am
(When you find it all around)
   Em             F                 G              Am
Yeah, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start


Feelings sleeping in the field again
            G
But I can feel, I can feel
                              Am
I can feel, it's beginning to end

Yeah, premonition smiling in the dark
       G
I can see, I can see
                                F
I can see the story starting to arc
     G    Am7   G
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)


It dries up
    Am
I've been a spoken word

I've been a river bed

I've been a rabid force
                         G
And let it flow up from within
                                                    F
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
    G    Am7    G
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

And colors so, oh!

            Em           F      G     Am

Yeah, you say it's what you need
               G                Am       Em
And hide your eyes when you're close to me

           Em      F     G    Am
(When you feel up in the clouds)
 Em              F
Well, it comes in waves
           G                Am
But it's hardest from the start


Waves in theta slipping into dreams
        G
I can feel, I can feel
                           Am
I can feel the celestial beings

Welted pleasures leaving with a breath
       G
I can see, I can see
                               F
I can see the beauty in the mess
    G   C   G
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)


It dries up
Am
I've been a river bed

I tried to salt the wound

I've carried more than I can
                         G
I feel I've got a lot to prove
                                                 F
Sometimes I feel like I only dream in black and white

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

And colors so!

Sometimes you'll have to wait
Em                                         F
Until it passes by like a satellite or a star
