[Verse 1]
C6                         Em/B
Green was the color of the grass
                Am                 Em
Where I used to read at Centennial Park
  C6                    Em/B        Am     Em
I used to think I would meet somebody there
C6                         Em/B
Teal was the color of your shirt
                 Am                 Em
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop
    C6                 Em/B             Am Em
You used to work at to make a little money
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Time, curious time
           Am
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs
           G              Am
Were there clues I didn't see?
    G                          Am
And isn't it just so pretty to think
                G
All along there was some
      Am
Invisible string
             C6 Em/B Am Em
Tying you to me?
C6 Em/B Am Em
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Verse 2]
C6                      Em/B
Bad was the blood of the song in the cab
        Am             Em
On your first trip to LA
    C6                 Em/B         Am  Em
You ate at my favorite spot for dinner
C6                           Em/B
Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip
        Am                Em
Getting lunch down by the Lakes
    C6                     Em/B        Am  Em
She said I looked like an American singer
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Time, mystical time
           Am
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
           G              Am
Were there clues I didn't see?
     G                          Am
And isn't it just so pretty to think
                G
All along there was some
      Am
Invisible string
             C6 Em/B Am Em
Tying you to me?
C6 Em/B Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Bridge]
   Em
A string that pulled me
Dm               C                   G
  Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar
Dm                  C                G
  Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Dm                 C
  Chains around my demons
G                 Dm
Wool to brave the seasons
    C                G
One single thread of gold
           C6 Em/B Am Em
Tied me to you
 
 
[Verse 3]
C6                       Em/B
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind
        Am                Em
For the boys who broke my heart
C6               Em/B          Am Em
Now I send their babies presents
C6                        Em/B
Gold was the color of the leaves
                   Am               Em
When I showed you around Centennial Park
C6                          Em/B           Am  Em
Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Time, wondrous time
            Am
Gave me the blue and then purple skies
         G               Am
And it's cool, baby with me
    G                          Am
And isn't it just so pretty to think
                G
All along there was some
      Am
Invisible string
              Dm  C  G
Tying you to me?
Dm  C  G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Outro]
 Dm  C  G
(Ah-ah-ah)
 Dm  C  G
(Ah-ah-ah)
