[Verse 1]
C
Here is a scale, weigh it out and you'll find easily
Em
More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see
Am
Were picked in advance by some careful hand
F G7
With an absolute concept of beauty

[Verse 2]
C
They are smeared and these blurs come in random order
Em
To color the eyes of your former lovers
Am
Hers were green like July except when she cried
F G7
They were red

[Verse 3]
C
Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat
Em
You contract it the day you accept all you see
Am
Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be
F G7
A reflection of something we're missing

[Verse 4]
C
And language just happened, it was never planned
Em
And it's inadequate to describe where I am
Am
In the room of my house where the light has never been
F G7
Waiting for this day to end

[Chorus]
F G
And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore
Em Am G
Everything that we hate or adore
F G
Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more
Em Am G
So tell me then, what was it for?
F G C
Oh tell me, what was it for?

[Outro]
C Em Am F G7 x3
C
