C Here is a scale, weigh it out and you will find easily Em More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see Am Were picked in advance by some careful hand F G With an absolute concept of beauty C They are smeared and these blurs come in random order Em To color the eyes of your former lovers Am Hers were green like July except when she cried F G They were red ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bright_eyes/a_scale_a_mirror_and_those_indifferent_clocks_crd.html ) C Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat Em You contract it the day you accept all you see Am Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be F G A reflection of something we're missing C And language just happened, it was never planned Em And it's inadequate to describe where I am Am In the room of my house where the light has never been F G Waiting for this day to end F G And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore Em Am Everything that we hate or adore F G Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more Em Am So tell me then, what was it for? F G C Oh tell me, what was it for?
