[Verse 1]
Dsus2 Cmaj7
Multicolored faces, red hands and blue hands
A9sus4 Dsus2
grasp at the shapes in his mind.
Dsus2 Cmaj7
Black birds and blue birds are resting on his shoulders,
A9sus4 Dsus2
waiting for their moment to fly.
Cmaj7 A9sus4 Dsus2
Multicolored feathers against the sky.
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 Cmaj7
Silver shadows spread over the landscape
A9sus4 Dsus2
Draped over the background as a veil.
Dsus2 Cmaj7
And we’re getting drunk while we look into the sunrise
A9sus4 Dsus2
Singing songs of men who had it all but died in jail
[Chorus]
Dsus4 Cmaj7
Whatever, forever
A9sus4 Dsus2
We keep our head up high, and voices strong
Dsus2 Cmaj7
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever.
A9sus4 Dsus2
The ways of the world, where I belong.
[Verse 3]
Dsus2 Cmaj7
We got lost in the middle of the desert
A9sus4 Dsus2
We prayed for a little luck and came out smiling
Dsus2 Cmaj7
We looked up above we saw the black and blue birds flyin’
A9sus4 Dsus2
The colors against the sky,
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 A9sus4 Dsus2
And I know one day they'll die,
Cmaj7 A9sus4 Dsus2
As I know one day you'll die,
Cmaj7 A9sus4 Dsus2
Cause even multicolored angels die,
[Chorus]
Whatever, forever
A9sus4 Dsus2
We keep our heads up high
Dsus4 Cmaj7
Whatever, forever
A9sus4 Dsus2
We keep our head up high, and voices strong
Dsus2 Cmaj7
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever.
A9sus4 Dsus2
The ways of the world, where I belong.
Dsus4 Cmaj7
Whatever, forever
A9sus4 Dsus2
We keep our head up high, and voices strong
Dsus2 Cmaj7
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever.
A9sus4 Dsus2
The ways of the world, where I belong.
Cmaj7 A9sus4 Dsus2
We keep our heads … up … high!
