Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I'll be the grapes fermented,
Bottled  and served with  the table set in  my finest suit
 like a perfect gentlemen
 I'll be the fire escape that's
bolted  to the  ancient brick Where you  will sit
 and contemplate your day
 Repeat intro)
 I'll be the waterwings that
save  you if you start  drowning In an open  tab when
 your judgement's on the brink
 I'll be the phonograph that
plays  your favorite  Albums back as your lying  there
 drifting off to sleep... Drifting  off to sleep...
 I'll be the platform shoes and
 undo  what heredity's done  to you... You won't have to strain
 to look into my eyes
 I'll be your winter coat
buttoned  and zipped straight  to the throat With the collar  up so
 you won't catch a cold
   I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
 And kiss you on the mouth
 We'll cut  out bodies free  from the tethers of this scene,
 Start a brand  new colony
 Where everything  will change, We'll  give ourselves new names
 identities erased
 The sun  will heat the grounds  Under our bare feet in this
 brand new colony, this brand new  colony
Everything  will change...
Everything  will change...
 Thanks.
