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