G D/F# Green was the color of the grass Em Bm Where I used to read at Centennial Park G D/F# Em Bm I used to think I would meet somebody there G D/F# Teal was the color of your shirt Em Bm When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop G D/F# Em Bm Youâusedâtoâwork at toâmake a littleâmoney Chorus: D Time, curious time Em Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs D Em Were there clues I didn't see? D Em And isn't it just so pretty to think D All along there was some Em Invisible string G D/F# Em Bm Tying you to me? G D/F# Em Bm Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Bad was the blood of the song in the cab On your first trip to LA You ate at my favorite spot for dinner Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip Getting lunch down by the Lakes She said I looked like an American singer Chorus Bm A string that pulled me Am G D Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar Am G D Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire Am G Chains around my demons D Am Wool to brave the seasons G D One single thread of gold G D/F# Em Bm Tied me to you Cold was the steel of my axe to grind For the boys who broke my heart Now I send their babies presents Gold was the color of the leaves When I showed you around Centennial Park Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven Chorus: Time, wondrous time Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies And it's cool Baby, with me And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me?
