Vincent chords by Ellie Goulding

INTRO: B

VERSE 1:
                 B
Starry, starry night
                    C#m
Paint your palette blue and grey
                  E
Look out on a summer's day
     F#                                   B
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
 E                 B E B
Shadows on the hills
                         C#m
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
                          E
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
     F#                        B E B
In colors on the snowy linen land

CHORUS:
               C#m F#
Now I understand
                  B    Bmaj7 Abm
What you tried to say to me
                                  C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#                              Abm
And how you tried to set them free
                             C#            C#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
   #               B      E B
Perhaps they'll listen now

VERSE 2:
                B   E B
Starry, starry night
                  C#m
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C#m                   E
Swirling clouds in a violet haze
   F#                                B
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
E                B E B
Colors changing hue
B           C#m
Morning fields of amber grain
                  E
Weathered faces lined in pain
       F#                                 B
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand



CHORUS:
               C#m F#
Now I understand
                  B    Bmaj7 Abm
What you tried to say to me
                                  C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#                              Abm
And how you tried to set them free
                             C#            C#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
   #               B      E B
Perhaps they'll listen now



BRIDGE:
                    C#m    F#
For they could not love you
                        B Bmaj7 Abm
But still your love was true
              C#m
And when no hope was left in sight
           E
On that starry, starry night
B                    Bmaj7        Abm
You took your life, as lovers often do
               C#m
But I could've told you, Vincent
 E                               F#              B E B
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

VERSE 3:
                 B E B
Starry, starry night
                   C#m
Portraits hung in empty halls
                 E
Frameless heads on nameless walls
       F#                                   B
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
           E                   B E B
Like the strangers that you've met
B                   C#m
The ragged men in ragged clothes
                       E
The silver thorn on the bloody rose
        F#                             B  E B
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

OUTRO:
B           C#m   F#
Now I think I know
F#                 B    Bmaj7 Abm
What you tried to say to me
                               C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#                              Abm
And how you tried to set them free
                                    C#            C#m
They would not listen, they're not listening still
 C#m                 B Bmaj7 Abm C#m F# B E B
Perhaps they never will
