Paul Weller - Shades Of Blue Chords

[Verse]
 Dm
The tipping of scales
                           C
And the balance of time precede it
 Dm
The ticking of clocks
                    C
In silent homes admit it
       Bb
Larks ascending
       F
Clash with planes
 
[Verse]
 Dm                                C
O my soul, what will I do to feed them
 Dm
Nothing inside, nothing outside
                C
Nothing in the kitchen
 Gm                   C
What I’m left with, I don’t know
 
[Chorus]
 F               C           Dm     Bb
Spend all your life just to find out
 F               C          Dm    Bb
All that matters is close to you
           F
The people you know
                C
The things that you’re shown
               Dm    Bb
That shape our views
              F
The places you’ve been
             C
To follow a dream
           Dm     Bb
In shades of blue

[Verse]
 Dm
And in a small side street of contemplation
 C
He lost it
 Dm
An’ in the late night bars of annihilation
 C
He lost it
        Gm                          C
The truth is that “it” wasn’t his to lose
 
[Chorus]
 F               C           Dm      Bb
Spend all your life just to find out
 F               C          Dm    Bb
All that matters is close to you
           F
The people you know
                C
The things that you’re shown
               Dm    Bb
That shape our views
              F
The places you’ve been
             C
To follow a dream
           Dm     Bb
In shades of blue

           F
The people you know
                C
The things that you’re shown
               Dm    Bb
That shape our views
              F
The places you’ve been
             C
To follow a dream
           Dm     Bb
In shades of blue
