Brand New Colony Acoustic

Ben Gibbard

 CCAm

Verse:

 G
     I'll be the grapes fermented,
 DEmC
 Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit

like a perfect gentlemen

 G
     I'll be the fire escape that's
 DEmC
 bolted to the ancient brick Where you will sit

and contemplate your day

Instrumental (Repeat intro)

 CCAm
Verse:

 G
     I'll be the waterwings that
 DEmC
 save you if you start drowning In an open tab when

your judgement's on the brink

 G
     I'll be the phonograph that
 DEmC
 plays your favorite Albums back as your lying there
 Am
drifting off to sleep... Drifting off to sleep...

 G
     I'll be the platform shoes and
 DEmC
undo what heredity's done to you... You won't have to strain  

to look into my eyes

 G
     I'll be your winter coat
 DEmC
 buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up so

you won't catch a cold

Bridge:

 G
    I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
 Em
And kiss you on the mouth
 EmC
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
 GEm
Start a brand new colony
 EmCG
Where everything will change, We'll give ourselves new names                             
 Em
identities erased
 EmCG
The sun will heat the grounds Under our bare feet in this        
 Am
brand new colony,  this brand new colony

Outro:

 EmCGD
 Everything will change...                    

 EmCGD
 EmCGD
 Everything will change...                    

 EmCGD
(end on Em)

Thanks.
