Gary Louris - True Blue

D...Am...D...Am

D
rusty wire

Am
bent to make a fence

D....................Am..........C/B
rows and rows of houses

C...........G.............D
cold and still until tomorrow
restless waters
colored by their stones
some ungrateful morning
kick the sand
stir up the powder


Bb.........F
strip me down

C....G................D
to what you can believe in

Bb........F...C..........G
place it on what is right and

D.....Am
true blue

today's the day
my branches bear their fruit
all my labor will be rewarded
then I awake
it's like starting over

riches and their thorns
crumble where they lay
revealing sparking secrets
to hold you would bring happiness
your absence sorrow

strip it down
to what you can rescue
place it on what is right and
true blue

shifting stages and shapes
giving up ground now
take another's place
holding one's own
as if you were just born

find a way
feel without a trace
feel fulfillment in this small corner
and no possessions to create sorrow

strip me down
to what you can believe in
place it on what is right and
true blue
true blue
true blue
true blue
