More chords by Portugal. The Man
Genre: rock, pop, indie
The song plays the verse with a varied E7 chord as the iii in the progression
which I've
notated below, however you can play an Em and it will sound fine. The Am in
the verse
is played as a barre chord, but in the chorus it's open. In the pre-chorus
the C and F
are also barre chords, which I've notated below, but elsewhere they are
played in the
standard open and 1st fret barre chord positions respectively

[Intro]
C E x2
[Verse]
C
If pain was a color to paint on you
E7
Your heart would be the color blue
Am
Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair
D
Which would remain a silver hue
C
You are the one they call Jesus Christ
E7
Who didn't know no rock and roll
Am
Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam
D
And a heart that always told you
F C
There's a madness in us all
F C
There's a madness in us all
[Chorus]
C
So who broke the rules?
