Am                           F
He stumbled into faith and thought,
          C              G
"God, this is all there is."
Am                         F
The pictures in his mind arose
        C       G
And began to breathe
Am                             F
And all the gods and all the worlds
                       C G  Am   F   G
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue

Dm    C     C    Am
Blue lips, blue veins

Am                            F
He took a step but then felt tired
              C                G
He said, "I'll rest a little while"
Am                          F
But when he tried to walk again
       C      G
He wasn't a child
Am                           F
And all the people hurried fast, real fast
                C  G  Am  F  G
And no one ever smiled

Dm    C     C    Am
Blue lips, blue veins
           C             G          Am
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Dm    C     C    Am
Blue lips, blue veins
            C            G          Am
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Am                           F
He stumbled into faith and thought,
           C             G
"God, this is all there is."
Am                         F
The pictures in his mind arose
       C        G
And began to breathe

Am                          F
And no one saw and no one heard
           C            G
They just followed the lead
Am                         F
The pictures in his mind awoke
       C       G
And began to breed

Am                                      F
They started off beneath the knowledge tree
                                           C
And they chopped it down to make a picket fence
                                   G
And marching along the railroad tracks
                                        Am
They smiled real wide for the camera lenses
                                 F
As they made it past the enemy lines
                                         C G Am F G
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines

-C G Am F G-

Dm    C      C    Am
Blue lips, blue veins
            C            G          Am
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away

Dm Am          C  G   Am
