Verse
Am F
Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so
C G
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show
Am F
You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with hope
C G
I hope you make it to the day you're twenty eight years old
Pre-Chorus
Am F
You're tripping like you're saturated sunlight
C G
You're spilling like an overflowing sink
Am F
You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
C G
And I'm tearing through the pages and the ink
Am
Everything is blue
F
His pills, his hands, his jeans
C
And now I'm covered in the colors
G
Pull apart at the seams
Am F
And it’s blue
C G
And it’s blue
F C
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
G
Missing him was dark grey all alone
F Am G
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
F
But loving him was red
Am G
(Red, red, red)
Am F
Lovin’ him was blue (red, red, red)
C G
And he’s blue (red, red, red)

That love could be that strong

Everything is blue

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And it’s blue

And it’s blue

Bridge

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

Tell myself it's time now gotta let go

When I still see it all in my head
F Am G
And burning red
