Intro
C G Am F Dm x2

C
I'll be the grapes fermented
G                 Am
Bottled and served with the table set
F                                       C                              
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman

C
I'll be the fire escape
G                Am
That's bolted to the ancient brick
 F                                     C                                    
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

C G Am F Dm

C
I'll be the waterwings
G                         Am
That save you if you start drowning
F                                          C
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink

C
I'll be the phonograph
G                       Am
That plays your favorite albums back
F                                      C
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep

Dm x2

C
I'll be the platform shoes
G                       Am
And undo what heredity's done to you
F                                       C
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes

C
I'll be your winter coat
G                   Am  
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
F                                      Am 
With the collar up so you won't catch cold

Am                F
I want to take you far
                       C 
From the cynics in this town
                   Am 
And kiss you on the mouth
                    F
We'll cut our bodies free
                        C
From the tethers of this scene
                 Am
Start a brand new colony
                     F
Where everything will change
                        C
We'll give ourselves new names
           Am
Identities erased
                     F
The sun will heat the ground
              C
Under our bare feet
                  G
In this brand new colony
              Am         F     C    G
This Brand New Colony

Am                    F          C        G
