Chorus 1 chords:
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes
Living in colour, li-living even in the blackout, I know
Verse 1
I am floating, I, I am floating with my eyes closed with no sails
I am soaking, I, I am weathered by the winter of mixed drinks
Am I dancing, am, am? Or am I simply spinning in my own grave
You were asking, you, you were asking, within two-steps, I'm saved

Verse 2
[use verse 1 chords]
(Weak strong bands, weak) I was paler than a pine-box that holds bones
She pulled the iris, she pierced a hole and watched the colour rush forth
Modern Madonna, held my hand in warm hands, with pink nails
(Mark my mouth, mark, mark) Whispered that the sickness will go away
Chorus 3
[use chorus 1 chords]
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes
Living in colour, li-living even in the blackout, I know
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes
Living in colour, li-living even as I blackout, I know
Bridge chords
And though I dreamt with a rapid eye, by day I hope to rapidly die
And have my organs laid on ice, wait for somebody that will treat me right
And as the night starts swallowing, you killed the blood to my blue lip
Forced the life thru still veins, filled my heart with red again
