[Intro] G  D  Em  Bm

[Primera Parte]

  G         
Green was the color
         D
Of the grass
                 Em  
Where I used to read
               Bm
At Centennial Park
  G                
I used to think I
       D          Em  Bm
Would meet somebody there
 G           
Teal was the color 
          D
Of your shirt
                  Em 
When you were sixteen
                Bm
At the yogurt shop
   G               
You used to work at to 
   D          Em  Bm
Make a little  money

[Estribillo]

 D
Time, curious time
            Em
Gave me no compasses

Gave me no signs
             D   
Were there clues
          Em
I didn't see?
D       
 And isn't it just
        Em
So pretty to think
                 D
All along there was some
        Em
Invisible string
              G  D  Em  Bm
Tying you to me?
G   D  Em  Bm
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Segunda Parte]

 G           
Bad was the blood of
     D
The song in the cab
         Em             Bm
On your first trip to L.A
    G                  
You ate at my favorite
  D       Em  Bm
Spot for dinner
G                            D
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip
        Em                Bm
Getting lunch down by the Lakes
    G                      D        Em  Bm
She said I looked like an American singer

[Estribillo]

 D
Time, mystical time
           Em
Cutting me open

Then healing me fine
              D           
Were there clues I didn't see?
D              
 And isn't it just
        Em
So pretty to think
                D
All along there was some
      Em
Invisible string
             G  D  Em  Bm
Tying you to me?
G   D  Em  Bm
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Puente]

Bm
  A string that pulled me
Am                 G     
  Out of all the wrong arms
      D
Right into that dive bar
Am                     G
 Something wrapped all of
            D
My past mistakes in barbed wire
Am                G
 Chains around my demons
D                 Am
Wool to brave the seasons
    G                D
One single thread of gold
           G    D  Em  Bm
Tied me to you

[Tercera Parte]

 G         
Cold was the steel
      D
Of my axe to grind
         Em  
For the boys who
          Bm
Broke my heart
 G             
Now I send their
 D          Em  Bm
Babies presents
 G         
Gold was the color
        D
Of the leaves

When I showed you
  Em               Bm
Around Centennial Park
 G              
Hell was the journey but
      D     Em   Bm
It brought me heaven

[Estribillo]

 D
Time, wondrous time
              Em
Gave me the blues and

Then purple-pink skies
          D
And it's cool
            Em
Baby, with me
D     
 And isn't it just
        Em
So pretty to think
                 D
All along there was some
        Em
Invisible string
              Am  G  D
Tying you to me?
Am      G  D
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Am  G  D
Me
Am      G  D
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
