Smell The Color 9

I wo[Em7]uld take no for an a[D]nswer,
Just [Cadd9]to know I heard you s[G]peak,
And I'm wo[Em7]ndering why I've neve[D]r,
S[Cadd9]een the signs they c[G]laim they s[D]ee,
A lotta s[Em7]pecial revelat[D]ions,
Meant[Cadd9] for everybody but [G]me,
Maybe I d[Em7]on't truly know y[D]ou,
or maybe [Cadd9]I just sim[G]ply bel[D]ieve...

Cause I [D]can sniff, I can see, and I can
[Cadd9]count up pretty high; but these fac[G]ulties
aren't getting me any clo[Cadd9]ser to the sky,
but my h[D]eart of faith keeps poundin' so
I k[Cadd9]now I'm doin' fine but sometimes fi[G]ndin
you is just lik[Cadd9]e tryin to smell the color ni[D]ne.
[Cadd9]     Smell the color ni[D]ne...[Cadd9]

Now I've ne[Em7]ver felt the presence[D],
But I k[Cadd9]now you're always ne[G]ar,
And I've ne[Em7]ver heard the calli[D]ng,
But s[Cadd9]omehow you've l[G]ed me right [D]here,
So I'm not l[Em7]ookin' for burnin' b[D]ushes,
Or some d[Cadd9]ivine graffiti to ap[G]pear,
I'm just b[Em7]eggin you for your wi[D]sdom,
And I [Cadd9]believe you're p[G]uttin' some he[D]re...

repeat)

Cause I [D]can sniff, I can see, and I can
[Cadd9]count up pretty high; but these fac[G]ulties
aren't ge[Cadd9]tting me any closer to the sky,
but my h[D]eart of faith keeps poundin' so
I k[Cadd9]now I'm doin' fine but sometimes f[G]indin
you is just like t[Cadd9]ryin to, sometimes
f[G]indin you is just like tr[Cadd9]yin to
sometimes fi[G]ndin you is just
like t[Cadd9]ryin to smell the color nine.[D]
[Cadd9]       Smell the color n[D]ine[Cadd9]
Nine's not a co[D]lor...
and if [Cadd9]even if it were you c[G]an't smell a co[D]lor,no
[Cadd9]     that's[G] my point exact[D]ly.
