Am
Your little brother

he loves you so
C
You said your mother
G
only smiled on her TV
show
Am
You’re only happy when
F
your sorry head is
filled with dope
C
I hope you make it to
the day you’re twenty
G
eight years old
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
You’re dripping like a
F
saturated sunrise
C
You’re spilling like
G
an overflowing sink
Am
You’re ripped at every
F
edge but you’re a
masterpiece
C
And I’m tearing
through the
Em
pages and the
ink
[Chorus]
Am
Everything is blue
F
His pills, his hands,
his jeans
C
And now I’m covered in
the colors
G
Pull apart at the
seams
Am F
And it’s blue
C G
And it’s blue
Am
Everything is grey
F
His hair, his smoke,
his dreams
C
And now he’s so devoid
of color
G
He don’t know what it
means
Am F
And he’s blue
C G
And he’s blue
[Verse 2]
Am
You were a vision in
the morning when the
F
light came through
C
I know I’ve only felt
G
religion when I lay
with you
Am
You said you’ll never
F
be forgiven till your
boys are too
C
I’m still waking every
G
morning but it’s not
with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
You’re dripping like a
F
saturated sunrise
C
You’re spilling like
G
an overflowing sink
Am
You’re ripped at every
F
edge but you’re a
masterpiece
C
And I’m tearing
through the
Em
pages and the
ink
[Chorus]
Am
Everything is blue
F
His pills, his hands,
his jeans
C
And now I’m covered in
the colors
G
Pull apart at the
seams
Am F
And it’s blue
C G
And it’s blue
Am
Everything is grey
F
His hair, his smoke,
his dreams
C
And now he’s so devoid
of color

And he’s blue

And he’s blue
[Bridge]
Am
You were red and you
liked me because I
was blue
F
But you touched me and
suddenly I was a
lilac sky
C
Then you decided
purple
G
Just wasn’t for you
[Chorus]
Am
Everything is blue
F
His pills, his hands,
his jeans
C
And now I’m covered in
the colors
G
Pull apart at the
seams
Am F
And it’s blue
C G
And it’s blue
Am
Everything is grey
F
His hair, his smoke,
his dreams
C
And now he’s so devoid
of color
G
He don’t know what it
means
Am F
And he’s blue
C G
And he’s blue
[Outro]

Everything is blue

Everything is blue
G
Am
Everything is blue

Everything is blue
