[Intro]
G D Em C G C Am

{Verse 1]
G
I'm a color reporter
Em                        C
(Rose City on the 409)
G                                    Em
But the city's been bled white
                             C
(White city on the yellow line)
G
And the doctor orders
Em                                             C
(Drinking to distraction's just a waste of time)
G                           Em                    C
Drinks all night to take away this curse
           Em             C              D
But it makes me feel much worse
        Am   C
Bled white

[Verse 2]
G
So I wait for the F-Train
Em                         C
(White city on the yellow line)
G                                                   Em
And connect through a friend of mine
                         C
(White city to a friend of mine)
G
To a yesterday dream
Em                                           C
(Yesterday a dream was just a waste of time)
G                                           Em                      C
Cause I'd have to be high to track the sunset down
        Em             C         D
And paint this paling town
        Am    C G
Bled white

[Bridge]
      A
So here it comes with a blank expression
Am                                                               C
'Specially for me, cause he knows I feel the same
            A
Cause happy and sad come in quick succession
Am                         C            D             G         Bm F Em C
I'm never going to become what you became

[Verse 3]
G
Don't you dare disturb me
Em                              C
(Don't complicate my peace of mind)
G
While I'm balancing my past
Em                              C
(Don't complicate my peace of mind)
G
Cause you can't help or hurt me
Em                                                  C
(The anger, being mean was just a waste of time)
G                              Em                            C
Like it already has, I may not seem quite right
       Em         C                D
But I'm not fucked, not quite
         Am    C
Bled white
         Am    D
Bled white
