A Lack of Color

By Death Cab for Cutie

Key of Eb

[Intro]
Eb  Cm

[Verse]
Eb
  and when I see you

I really see you
       Cm
upside down
Eb
  but my brain knows better

it picks you up and
           Cm
turns you around

turns you around

turns you around

[Verse]
Eb
  if you feel discouraged
                            Cm
and there's a lack of color here
Eb
  please don't worry lover
                            Cm
it's really bursting at the seams

from absorbing everything

the spectrum's a to z

[Interlude]
Eb   Cm
ohh ohhh ohh
Eb   Cm
ohh ohhh ohh

[Verse]
Eb
  this is fact not fiction
                      Cm
for the first time in years
Eb
  and all the girls in

every girlie magazine
              Cm
can't make me feel any less alone

[Chorus]
                     Bb
I'm reaching for the phone
              G
to call at 7:03
            Cm               Bb
and on your machine I slur a plea
                Ab
for you to come home
Bb                   G
  but I know it's to late
                  Cm
and I should have given
      Eb         Ab
you a reason to stay
Cm          Eb         Ab
given you a reason to stay
Cm          Eb         Ab
given you a reason to stay
Cm          Eb         Ab--
given you a reason to stay

Interlude: Eb   Cm

Outro:
Eb
  this is fact not fiction
                      Cm   Eb -hold-
for the first time in years
