Bright Eyes - A scale a mirror and those indifferent clocks

Here is ^Ca scale, weigh it out and you will find easily More than^Em sufficient doubt that these colors you see Were^Am picked in advance by some careful hand With an^F absolute concept of^G beauty They are^C smeared and these blurs come in random order To^Em color the eyes of your former lovers Hers were^Am green like July except when she cried They were^F red ^G

Now I^C know a disease that these doctors can't treat You^Em contract it the day you accept all you see Is a^Am mirror and a mirror is all it can be A r^Feflection of something we're^G missing And^C language just happened, it was never planned And it's^Em inadequate to describe where I am In the^Am room of my house where the light has never been ^FWaiting for this day to ^Gend

And these^F clocks keep unwinding and^G completely ignore ^EmEverything that we ^Amhate or adore Once the^F page of a calendar is^G turned it's no more So^Em tell me then, what was it^Am for' Oh^F tell me,^G what was it^C for'
