Here is a sweet song from the motion picture "Breaking Upwards" (2009).
Capo 2nd fret
Intro: Am C Em D Am
G Em C
I picked a colour long ago to suit my tawdry tales of woe,
Am
and now it doesn't fit.
G Em C
My friend who's a fan of shades traveled to the ever glades,
Am
and asked if I'd come with.
G Em C
There's no one that I would rather see, she's a special friend to me.
Am
But I feel I'd be leaving you behind.
G Em C
That's the game of love and war, choose the side you're fighting for.
Am
See if there's a white flag to be raised.
Am
I know it's not a fair assessment,
Am Em D C
but I can't be asked to wrestle with the colours of who you've now become.
Am C
'Cause you and I, we're not the same, and neither can be held to blame.
Em D C
It's just the way the story has to end.
G
Being here and being there.
Em C Am
There's no space for being where I feel I should be.
G
Loneliness is like a drink,
Em C Am
think you're on the verge of sinking when you tame the sea.
Am
Interim's are good for suckers
Am
feeling like they're down on luck,
Em D C
and I'm not gonna drown in my own tears.
Am C Em D
I can't ask you anymore to be the one that I adore only when the time is
C
right for me.
G
So let's just be
Outro:
Aaah (and whistle)
G Em C Am

Enjoy!
