Smell the Color 9
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 1
Em7 D Cadd9 G (x2)
Em7 D
I would take no for an answer,
Cadd9 G
Just to know I heard you speak,
Em7 D
And I'm wondering why I've never,
Cadd9 G D
Seen the signs they claim they see,
Em7 D
A lotta special revelations,
Cadd9 G
Meant for everybody but me,
Em7 D
Maybe I don't truly know you,
Cadd9 G D
or maybe I just simply believe...
Chorus:
D
Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can
Cadd9 G
count up pretty high; but these faculties
Cadd9
aren't getting me any closer to the sky,
D
but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so
Cadd9 G
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
Cadd9 D
you is just like tryin to smell the color nine.
Cadd9 D Cadd9
Smell the color nine...
Em7 D
Now I've never felt the presence,
Cadd9 G
But I know you're always near,
Em7 D
And I've never heard the calling,
Cadd9 G D
But somehow you've led me right here,
Em7 D
So I'm not lookin' for burnin' bushes,
Cadd9 G
Or some divine graffiti to appear,
Em7 D
I'm just beggin you for your wisdom,
Cadd9 G D
And I believe you're puttin' some here...
Chorus
(ah's and do's)
you can pick this, it sounds cool
still with capo

Chorus 2
D
Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can
Cadd9 G
count up pretty high; but these faculties
Cadd9
aren't getting me any closer to the sky,
D
but my heart of faith keeps poundin' so
Cadd9 G
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
Cadd9
you is just like tryin to, sometimes
G Cadd9
findin you is just like tryin to
G
sometimes findin you is just
Cadd9 D
like tryin to smell the color nine.
Cadd9 D Cadd9
Smell the color nine
D
Nine's not a color...
Cadd9 G D
and if even if it were you can't smell a color,no
Cadd9 G D
that's my point exactly.
D Cadd9 G x7 or fade out
