Passenger - Vincent

^EStarry, starry night ^F#mPaint your palette blue and grey Look out on a su^Ammer's day With eye^Bs that know the dark^Eness of my soul ^AShadows on the hi^Ell Sketch the trees and the ^F#mdaffodils Catch the breeze and the w^Ainter chills In co^Blors on the snowy linen land

^ENow I un^F#mderstand ^Bwhat you tried to sa^Ey to me ^{B C#m} How you suffered for your san^F#mity ^B How you tried to set them ^C#mfree They did not listen, they did n^F#mot know how ^{A B}Perhaps they'll listen now ^E

^EStarry, starry night Flaming flowers b^F#mrightly blaze Swirling clouds in viol^Aet haze ^BReflect in Vincent's eyes of c^Ehina blue And the col^Aors changing hu^Ee Morning fi^F#melds of amber grain Weathered faces l^Ained in pain Are s^Boothed beneath the artist's loving ^Ehand

^ENow I un^F#mderstand ^Bwhat you tried to sa^Ey to me ^{B C#m} How you suffered for your san^F#mity ^B How you tried to set them ^C#mfree They did not listen, they did n^F#mot know how ^{A B}Perhaps they'll listen now ^E

For they could not l^F#move you S^Btill your love was ^Etrue ^{B C#m} How when no h^Aope was left in sight ^AmOn that starry, starry night You t^Eook your life, as lovers often do ^C#m But I c^F#mould have told you, Vincent ^AThis world was never meant for one as beautiful as yo^Eu

St^Earry, starry night Portraits hung in emp^F#mty halls Frameless head on na^Dmeless wall^As ^B With eyes that watch the world and can't fo^Erget ^A Like the stra^Angers that you've m^Eet Oh the ragged men in the r^F#magged clothes And the silver thorn of blo^F#mody ^Arose Lies ^Ecrushed and b^Broken on the virgin sn^Eow

^ENow I un^F#mderstand ^Bwhat you tried to sa^Ey to me ^{B C#m} How you suffered for your san^F#mity ^B How you tried to set them ^C#mfree They did not listen, they did n^F#mot know how ^{A B}Perhaps they'll listen now ^E
