[Verse 1]
C6 Em/B
Green was the color of the grass
Am Em
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
C6 Em/B Am Em
I used to think I would meet somebody there
C6 Em/B
Teal was the color of your shirt
Am Em
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop
C6 Em/B Am Em
You used to work at to make a little money
[Chorus]
G
Time, curious time
Am
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
G Am
Were there clues I didn't see?
G Am
And isn't it just so pretty to think
G
All along there was some
Am
Invisible string
C6 Em/B Am Em
Tying you to me?
C6 Em/B Am Em
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
C6 Em/B
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab
Am Em
On your first trip to LA
C6 Em/B Am Em
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
C6 Em/B
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip
Am Em
Getting lunch down by the Lakes
C6 Em/B Am Em
She said I looked like an American singer
[Chorus]
G
Time, mystical time
Am
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
G Am
Were there clues I didn't see?
G Am
And isn't it just so pretty to think
G
All along there was some
Am
Invisible string
C6 Em/B Am Em
Tying you to me?
C6 Em/B Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Em
A string that pulled me
Dm C G
Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar
Dm C G
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Dm C
Chains around my demons
G Dm
Wool to brave the seasons
C G
One single thread of gold
C6 Em/B Am Em
Tied me to you
[Verse 3]
C6 Em/B
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
Am Em
For the boys who broke my heart
C6 Em/B Am Em
Now I send their babies presents
C6 Em/B
Gold was the color of the leaves
Am Em
When I showed you around Centennial Park
C6 Em/B Am Em
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
[Chorus]
G
Time, wondrous time
Am
Gave me the blue and then purple skies
G Am
And it's cool, baby with me
G Am
And isn't it just so pretty to think
G
All along there was some
Am
Invisible string
Dm C G
Tying you to me?
Dm C G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Dm C G
(Ah-ah-ah)
Dm C G
(Ah-ah-ah)
