Vital signs Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This country is my canvas –
I leave paint trails as I go.
I'm painting [C]a picture
That you can only [Dsus4]see
from [G]outer space.
My bedroom is your sofa
I take my breakfast on the train.
I'm tired and [C]I'm dirty,
and not a [Dsus4]second go[G]es to waste.

[Verse 2]
[Em]
I'll be dead but never dy[F]ing,
and I say that with [C]a smile
It's just my way [Am]of try
ing to be alive.
[G]

[Verse 3]
Well I'll never get to grey hair
And I'll never be in the black
But I can tell [C]stories that [Dsus4]most
can hardly [G]dream.
Dreaming is a luxury
Like stopping- staring and
beauty sleep.
I'll stop when I'm [C]finished
[Dsus4]And sleep is for the [G]weak.

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em]
[F][C][Am][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
Heaven's in [F]the half- light,
and that's where I [C]reside
A whiskey and a wry [Am]smile –
I check my vital signs.
[G]

[Verse 5]
And when I'm gone
The [D]worlds re[Dsus4]volve, an[G]d life [D]goes on[C]
So mark [G]no [Am]grave[C]
Forget [G]my [Am]name.[C]
If the song [G]remain[Am] s
And everybody's got a drink
and a smile

[Outro 1]
Well, that's just fine by [Dsus4]me.
[F][C][Am][Dsus4][F][C][Am]
[G]
