Blue October - Chameleon boy

^AmI change my color for you, ^AmI shed my coat with caution, ^GI lack the beauty you display. ^AmSee here they are the bruises ^AmAnd some were self inflicted ^GAnd some showed up along the way. ^AmSo I nod my head I’m ready for the world to see ^GThe secret I kept here inside the man you thought I’d be ^AmSlipped into coma calm ^AmThe coma where I calm myself down ^GHere comes excuses ^GWhy I let you down

^AmSo now we’ve come upon the hardest thing I’ve ever done, ^GIt’s telling you that I’m a mess.

^AmWhat sort of mess I mean this self destructing gasoline, ^GThe kind that strips you of your best. ^AmAnd while I play instead the way that most would end up dead, ^G You sleep alone at home and wished that I were in our bed. ^AmWith this I’m telling you my color changes back to blue, ^GHow do I ask you this, will you help me through?
