Nofx - Vincent

^GStarry, starry night,^{C G G}paint your palette ^AmBlue and grey, ^AmLook out on a ^Csummer's day, with ^Deyes that know the darkness in my ^Gsoul ^GShadows on the hills, ^{C G G}Sketch the trees and the ^Amdaffodills ^AmCatch the breeze and the ^Cwinter chills, in ^Dcolors on the snowy linen l^Gan^Cd ^G

^GNow I under sta^Amnd ^D what you tried to s^Gay t^Do me^{Em Em}and how you suffered for your ^Amsanity ^D How you tried to set them ^Emfree, ^Emthey would not listen, they did not know ^Amhow, ^D Perhaps they'll listen^G now

^GStarry, starry ni^Cght^G, ^Gportraits hung in ^Amempty halls ^Amframless heads on ^Cnameless walls ^Dwith eyes that watch the world and can’^Gt forget ^GLike the strangers that you’ve met ^GThe ragged men in ^Amragged clothes ^AmA silver thorn, a ^Cbloody rose, lie ^DCrushed and broken ^Don the virgin^G snow

^GAnd now I think I ^Amknow, ^{D D}what you tried to s^Gay ^Dto m^Eme, ^Emhow you suffered for your ^Amsanity ^{D D}How you tried to set them ^Emfree, ^EmThey would not listen, they’re not listening sti^Cll, Per^Dhaps the never...^G.will

^EmFor they could not l^Amove you, ^{D D}but still your love was t^Grue^{D Em Em}And when no ^Amhope was left in sight On that ^Cstarry, starry night, you ^Gtook your life as ^Amlovers often d^Eo But ^AmI could have told you, Vincent, ^Cthis world was ^CNever meant for one as ^Dbeautiful as^G yo^Cu ^G
