Taking A Page

      D                A D                 A
I can see it in the way - that you are the pain-ted
G                         A G                         A
Flowers in the big parade - flowers in the big parade
D                      A D                 A
Deep inside your heart - staring at the sky
G                      A G                          A
Calling out the shapes - clouds make as they pass by

[Pre-Chorus]
D                           G                A
And first they thank you by pulling out your tongue
D                 G                      A
And you apologize for being where you're from
Bm                       A
I could hear the animals painted on the cave

[Chorus]
          G             A         G            A
And I was taking a page - from my own mistakes
          G          A         G           A
It was an empty book - until I took a look
      G             A              G            A
I was taking a page - from all the time I spend
       G      A      G            A
With a vanity - that knows no end

[Verse 2]
    D                   A  D               A
The many unknown thrills - hard to translate
G                     A G                  A
Time yer all the time - elegant heart rate
D                     A D          A
She would look at her - non-linear
       G                             A G                A
As she reaches in her pocket to find - all of human-kind

[Pre-Chorus]
D                    G                    A
I'm in my Free Tibet shirt that's made in China
D                     G                 A
With evolution's last jumping off point behind ya
Bm                          A
But I've got an infinity of things left to refuse

[Chorus]
          G             A      G          A
And I was taking a page - from Carole King
          G        A         G            A
You're so far away - doesn't anybody stay?
      G             A        G         A
I was taking a page - from remembering
           G           A             G             A
There's so many things - right there under my skin

[Bridge]
D                   A       D                  A
Wandering through a world - neither of us understands
             G                    A          G                    A
And when you think you just can't stand it - zoom out and see the planet

[Verse 3]
      D                     A       D                       A
Cause love is a little like - crowd surfing in an empty club
   G                        A G                        A
Oh that's a little bit like - something a lot like love
                 D              A          D                        A
But things could really be much worse - at least there's smiley face
   G                A             G           A
But I can't take no more - guitar solo or car chase

[Pre-Chorus]
D                              G                   A
Words tend to mean the most in songs that are just music
D
Do you ever think that colors say
      G                   A
"Hey! Who's your favorite human?"
Bm                                    A
But I was stranded in the place of my favorite details

[Chorus]
      G             A         G              A
I was taking a page - from my imaginary life
            G              A      G                A
Where I'm a good housewife - yeah that sounds nice
      G             A      G                    A
I was taking a page - from never feeling like I
      G             A       G          A  D
Was a girl or a guy - but I had to try
