Pretty Green

Intro: A


Verse 1:

A
Right before I met you things were 
getting pretty green
A
I was on an upswing though I could 
hardly even think
A             F#m          G      A
I was looking out, looking out

A
Well it took me several mornings 
with my throat in a mangled knot
A
Sounding out my virtues and my vices
 and other thoughts
A
Struggling to remember the most 
recent things that I forgot
A                  F#m          G
Well I was looking out, looking 
  A         F#m          G    A
out, looking out, looking out

Chorus 1:

            G   D  A         
When you're always on you feel 
 D                  A
defeated so your guardians have lost
      G  D    A               D 
In a foreign town, you could 
                 A
hear that singing it wouldn't wake 
up a sound
          G              F  
When you hear that singing it 
                      A
wouldn't wake up a sound


Verse 2:

A
Carbon copy portraits in a box that 
I was shufflin' through
A
Stuffed with paper memories that are
 only partly true
A
Well I've been gettin' a feelin' 
about someone a lot like you
        F#m          G  A        
Looking out, looking out Looking 
F#m           G   A
out, looking out

A
When there's classic meltdowns and 
devastating rain
A
Hurried up for waiting more times 
than I care to say
A
Well it's clear to us now it's 
starting to change
       F#m        G A          
Moving on, moving on moving 
F#m         G      A
forward Moving on


Chorus 2:

            G   D  A         
When you're always on you feel 
 D                  A
defeated so your guardians have lost
      G  D    A               D 
In a foreign town, you could 
                 A
hear that singing it wouldn't wake 
up a sound
            G              F 
You could hear that singing it 
                       A
wouldn't wake up a sound
