Colourless chords by Headstones

Chords with lyrics

Standard Tuning Strum Pattern Down, Down Up, Up Down up (repeat)

This is my first try at translating the song to tab. There were no other versions yet since it
is a new song by the Headstones. It's a great tune and I hope it sounds right! The strum pattern
changes in a couple of places but seems the same for most of the song.

    E MajorE      E MajorE         E MajorE  E MajorE
 For a century now I've been waiting
    E MajorE       E MajorE         E MajorE  E MajorE
 With a photograph of life I'd painted
 G+G          D MajorD       A augmentedA           E MajorE
 Spent the last year contemplating just what it means to me
 G+G     D MajorD         A augmentedA         E MajorE    E MajorE   E MajorE
 Seperated fact from fiction now I can finally breathe

    E MajorE         E MajorE          E MajorE  E MajorE
 Like a sentry guard I've been so patient
      E MajorE        E MajorE         E MajorE  E MajorE
 With this photgraph of the world I'd painted

 G+G
 It's colourless
 D MajorD
 Humourless
 A augmentedA     E MajorE
 Hateful by degrees
 G+G         D MajorD
 Towerin' over the days of sunshine
 A augmentedA          E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE
 It's just a part of me

   E MajorE      E MajorE      E MajorE  E MajorE
 Now Salvadore's salivating
 E MajorE             E MajorE        E MajorE  E MajorE
 Watching the clock and the time I've taken
  G+G         D MajorD
 If he had it his way he'd go first
   A augmentedA          E MajorE
 And drink champagne and toast my thirst
      G+G        D MajorD
 There is a reason why we'll step in front
   A augmentedA
 and raise my voice I can't
     E MajorE
 Hold my tongue

G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE Repeat x4

 ***SOLO***
  E MajorE       E MajorE         E MajorE   E MajorE
 I pick myself up off the pavement
  E MajorE         E MajorE         E MajorE   E MajorE
 With a photograph of time I'd painted
      G+G         D MajorD
 I thought everyone of those pixelations
    A augmentedA          E MajorE
 Was a language I couldn't speak
   G+G         D MajorD
 And all those years of remedial readin'
   A augmentedA       E MajorE
 Had made a fool of me
    G+G
 It was colourless
 D MajorD
 Humourless
 A augmentedA     E MajorE
 Hateful by degrees
     G+G
 See the more I learned
   D MajorD
 The less I knew
     A augmentedA
 But now I can finally
     E MajorE
 Finally breathe

    G+G
 It was colourless
 D MajorD
 Humourless
 A augmentedA       E MajorE
 Just a part of me
 G+G         D MajorD
 Towerin' over the days of sunshine
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
 So I could hardly see

    G+G
 It was colourless
 D MajorD
 Humourless
 A augmentedA     E MajorE
 Hateful by degrees
      G+G         D MajorD
 I thought everyone of those pixelations
    A augmentedA
 Was a language I couldn't
     E MajorE
 Couldn't speak

    G+G
 It was colourless
 D MajorD
 Humourless
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
 An inconvenient part of me
  G+G     D MajorD
 I seperated fact from fiction
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
 So that I could finally breathe

    G+G
 It was colourless
 D MajorD
 Humourless
 A augmentedA     E MajorE
 Hateful by degrees
 G+G         D MajorD
 Towerin' over the days of sunshine
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
 So I could hardly see

 G+G
 Colourless
 D MajorD
 Humourless
 A augmentedA       E MajorE
 Just a part of me
   G+G
 The more I learned
   D MajorD
 The less I knew
   A augmentedA
 Now I can finally
     E MajorE    E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE  E MajorE Fade
 Finally breathe
