[G] I am like [C] a coloring [G] page
[Em] colored [C] blue with [D] sorrow and [G] rage
[G] The scribbled lines [C] of childhood [G] pain
[Em] Can’t be e[C]rased it’s a [D] deep old [G] stain
[G] I am a [C] myster[G]y
[Em] To my[C]self and [D] all who [G] see
[G] It’s almost like [C] ain’t got no [G] soul
[Em] but still I [C] feel like a [D] crying [G] fool
[C] I’m tired as [G] hell
Off the [D] edge I almost [G] fell
[C] I’m ready to [G] give in
[D7] I’m wearin’ pretty [G] thin
And no [D] matter what I do
I can’t [C] wipe away the [G] blue
[G] Underneath my [C] weathered [G] face
Is a [Em] child’s [C] need for a [D] sweet em[G]brace
[G] Everyone has tried [C] on the [G] hue
[Em] But thats not the [C] same as being [D] colored in [G] blue
Chorus
Break
[Em] Some can [C] feel a [D] cooling [G] breeze
[Em] And see the [C] forest [D] for the [G] trees
[D] But when your colored in blue
[C] Its like burning an old ta[G]too
[Em] You can’t re[C]move [D] sorrow’s [G] scar
[Em] or scrape [C] away [D] who you [G] are
[D] And when your colored in blue
[C] there ain’t nothing you can [G] do
Verse/Chorus Instrumental
[G] Hiding the pain [C] with beer and [G] wine
[Em] only drives you [C] down the [D] poverty [G] line
[G] When I take the train [C] away from [G] here
[Em] At every [C] station dark [D] clouds a[G]ppear
