Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I would take no for an answer,

 Just to know I heard you speak,

 And I'm wondering why I've never,

 Seen the signs they claim they see,

 A lotta special revelations,

 Meant for everybody but me,

 Maybe I don't truly know you,

 or maybe I just simply believe...

Chorus

 Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can

count up pretty high; but these faculties

 aren't getting me any closer to the sky,

 but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so

 I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin

 you is just like tryin to smell the color nine.

Smell the color nine...

 Now I've never felt the presence,

 But I know you're always near,

 And I've never heard the calling,

 But somehow you've led me right here,

 So I'm not lookin' for burnin' bushes,

 Or some divine graffiti to appear,

 I'm just beggin you for your wisdom,

 And I believe you're puttin' some here...

Chorus

repeat)

Chorus 2

 Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can

count up pretty high; but these faculties

 aren't getting me any closer to the sky,

 but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so

 I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin

 you is just like tryin to, sometimes

 findin you is just like tryin to

 sometimes findin you is just

 like tryin to smell the color nine.

Smell the color nine

 Nine's not a color...

 and if even if it were you can't smell a color,no

that's my point exactly.
