| Em | D | C | % |

[Verse]
Em                                                                                    D
Yellow circus left the stakes a broken ropes world's useless mug
                      C
The ties that bind, ha ha
                                                                  Em
I can be bad poet. Street poet. Shit poet. Kind poet too
                 D
Subway, Almost 4AM. Halloween night
                           C
Had enough to drink to make my own party
                                                Em
All my fellow writers in half costume, half asleep
                                D
Half silly, gone to seed
                             C
I don't mark my time with dates, holidays, faded wisdom, locked karma holders
Em                         D
Convenient, I am made by my times
                              C
I am a creation of now. Shaken with the cracks and crevices
                             Em
I'm not giving up easy
                D
I will not fold. I don't have much
                              C
But what I have is gold

[Interlude]
Em D            C
I saw your face...

[Verse]
Em
I sing in platinum. I dress in brass
              D
I eat in zinc
           C
Let it pass
Em
Compare a toast. I like that. I understand courage
                                D
I still roll with the shout of a character I was married to today
           C
I try to see outside myself
                                                                     Em
I understand the eyes. Excuse all the highs. Sorry, I am sorry
D             C
Ha ha

[Break]
Em D C

[Verse]
Em
I like you, love you, every coast of you.
       D                                                     C
I've seen your eddies and tides and hurricanes and cyclones.
Em
Low ebb tide and high, full moon. Up close and distant. I read you.
  D                                         C
Like, the sky, the sea, the ocean, the sun, the moon.
Em                       D                         C                  Em          D
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.
            C
Naked and blue.
Em                                                                                          D                                     C
Breathing with you. Touch. Change. Shift. Allow air. Window open. Drift. Drift away. Into now.
                                                                    Em                                                            D
I want Whitman proud. Patti Lee proud. My brothers proud. My sisters proud. I want me.
              C
I want it all. I want sensational. Irresistible.
                 Em
This is my time and I am thrilled to be alive.
D            C
Living. Blessed. I understand.
Em                                         D            C

[Chorus]
Em        D        C
Cinde-rella boy
Em       D                C
You've lost your shoe

Em        D       C
Cinde-rella boy
Em    D           C
Your coach awaits

Em   D                   C
A sun makes shadows
Em   D              C
All over your face
Em D      C
As you sit

Naked and blue
