Dm x8
[Verse]
Dm Bb
he stumbled into faith and thought,
F C
"God, this is all there is?"
Dm Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
F C
and began to breathe
Dm Bb
and all the gods in all the worlds
F Em Dm Bb C
began colliding on a backdrop of blue
[Chorus]
Gm F
blue lips
F Dm Em (Dm)x8
blue veins
[Verse]
Dm Bb
he took a step but then felt tired
F C
he said, I'll rest a little while
Dm Bb
but when he tried to walk again
F C
he wasn't a child
Dm Bb
and all the people hurried past
F Em Dm Bb C
real fast and no one ever smiled
[Chorus]
Gm F
blue lips
F Dm
blue veins
F Em Dm
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
[Verse]
Dm Bb
he stumbled into faith and thought,
F C
"God, this is all there is?"
Dm Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
F C
and began to breathe
Dm Bb
and no one saw and no one heard
F C
they just followed lead
Dm (F)Bb
the pictures in his mind arose
F C
and began to breed
Dm Bb
they started off beneath the knowledge tree
F
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
C
and, marching along the railroad tracks,
F Dm
they smile real wide for the camera lenses
Dm Bb
they made it past the enemy lines
F Em Dm Bb C... F Em Dm Bb C
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
[Chorus]
Gm F
blue lips
F Dm
blue veins
F Em Dm
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Gm Dm F Em Dm
blue...the most human color...
Gm F
blue lips
F Dm
blue veins
F Em Dm
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
