Passenger - Vincent Chords

[Verse 1]
                C   Fsus2* C
Starry, starry night
                   Dm
Paint your palette blue and grey
                Fsus2
Look out on a summer's day
      G6sus4                            C
With eyes that know the darkness of my soul
Fsus2           C  Fsus2* C
Shadows on the hill
                         Dm
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
                          Fsus2
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
     G                          C
In colors on the snowy linen land


[Chorus]
            Dm   G                   C        C/B Am7
Now I understand - what you tried to say to me
                           Dm    G
How you suffered for your sanity
                          Am7
How you tried to set them free
                               Dm7          Fsus2
They did not listen, they did not know how
    G                     C  Fsus2* C
Perhaps they'll listen now


[Verse 2]
               C    Fsus2* C
Starry, starry night
                 Dm
Flaming flowers brightly blaze
                    Fsus2
Swirling clouds in violet haze
    G6sus4                             C
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
           Fsus2          C  Fsus2* C
And the colors changing hue
                  Dm
Morning fields of amber grain
                 Fsus2
Weathered faces lined in pain
     G                                  C
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand


[Chorus]
C          Dm    G                   C        C/B Am7
Now I understand - what you tried to say to me
                           Dm    G
How you suffered for your sanity
                          Am7
How you tried to set them free
                               D           Fsus2
They did not listen, they did not know how
   G                      C
Perhaps they'll listen now


[Bridge]
                    Dm     G
For they could not love you
                    C   G/B Am G6sus4
Still your love was true
             F
And when no hope was left in sight
         Fm
On that starry, starry night
     C                  C/B           Am7
You took your life, as lovers often do
     Dm
But I could have told you, Vincent
      Fsus2                           G               C  Fsus2* C
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you


[Verse 3]
               C    Fsus2* C
Starry, starry night
                   Dm
Portraits hung in empty halls
                    Fsus2
Frameless heads on nameless walls
     G6sus4                                C
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
             Fsus2              C  Fsus2* C
Like the strangers that you've met
                     Dm
Oh the ragged men in ragged clothes
                          Fsus2
And the silver thorn of a bloody rose
     G5                                 C
Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow


[Outro]
                Dm     G                   C      C/B Am7
And now I think I know - what you tried to say to me
                           Dm    G
How you suffered for your sanity
                               Am7
And how you tried to set them free
                               D                Fsus2
They did not listen, they're not listening still
    G                     C
Perhaps they never will
