Invisible String

	 
[Intro]
G D/F# Em Bm
[Verse]
G                          D/F# 
Green was the color of the grass 
                Em                 Bm 
Where I used to read at Centennial Park 
  G                   D/F#         Em       Bm 
I used to think I would meet somebody there 
G                          D/F# 
Teal was the color of your shirt 
                 Em                 Bm 
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop 
   G                D/F#               Em  Bm 
You used to work at to make a little  money
[Chorus]
D 
Time, curious time 
           Em 
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs 
           D                Em 
Were there clues I didn't see? 
D                          Em 
 And isn't it just so pretty to think 
                D 
All along there was some 
      Em 
Invisible string 
             G  D/F#  Em  Bm 
Tying you to me? 
G   D/F# Em  Bm 
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse]
G                        D/F# 
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab 
        Em              Bm 
On your first trip to L.A. 
    G                  D/F#         Em  Bm 
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner 
G                            D/F# 
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip 
        Em                Bm 
Getting lunch down by the Lakes 
    G                      D/F#        Em  Bm 
She said I looked like an American singer
[Chorus]
D 
Time, mystical time 
           Em 
Cutting me open, then healing me fine 
               D                Em 
Were there clues I didn't see? 
D                          Em 
 And isn't it just so pretty to think 
                D 
All along there was some 
      Em 
Invisible string 
             G  D/F# Em  Bm 
Tying you to me? 
G   D/F# Em  Bm 
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Bm 
 A string that pulled me 
Am              G                   D 
 Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar 
Am                     G            D 
 Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire 
Am                G 
 Chains around my demons 
D                 Am 
Wool to brave the seasons 
    G                D 
One single thread of gold 
           G    D/F# Em  Bm 
Tied me to you
[Bridge]
G                        D/F# 
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind 
        Em                Bm 
For the boys who broke my heart 
G                D/F#       Em   Bm 
Now I send their babies presents 
G                         D/F# 
Gold was the color of the leaves 
                   Em               Bm 
When I showed you around Centennial Park 
G                           D/F#           Em  Bm 
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
[Chorus]
D 
Time, wondrous time 
            Em 
Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies 
         D 
And it's cool 
              Em 
Baby, with me 
D                          Em 
 And isn't it just so pretty to think 
                D 
All along there was some 
      Em 
Invisible string 
             Am  G/B  D 
Tying you to me? 
Am      G/B D 
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 
Am  G/B D 
Me 
Am      G/B D 
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Instrumental]
