Chords for Ellie Goulding - Vincent (Lyrics / Lyric Video)

Starry, [B] starry night _ _ _
Paint [C#m] your palette blue and grey _ _
[C#] Look [E] out on a summer's day
[F#] With eyes that know the darkness [B] in my soul
Shadows on the hills
_ _ _ Sketch the [C#m] trees and the _ daffodils
_ Catch the [E] breeze and the winter chills
[F#] In colours on the [B] snowy linen land
_ _ _ _ Now I [C#] understand _
_ _ [F#] _ What [B] you tried to say [F#] to me
[G#m] And how you suffered [G#] for [C#m] your sanity
_ [F#] _ How you tried to [G#m] set them free
They would not [C#] listen, they did not know [C#m] how _
[F#] Perhaps [B] they'll listen [E] now
_ [B] _ _
_ Starry, starry night _ _
Flaming [C#m] flowers that are brightly _ blazed
_ [E] Swirling clouds in violet [F#] haze
Reflecting Vincent's [B] eyes of china blue
[E] _ [B] Colours changing hue
_ _ Morning [C#m] fields of amber grey
_ _ Weathered [E] faces lined in pain
[F#] Are soothed beneath the artist's [B] loving hand
Now I [C#m] _ understand
[F#] _ _
What you tried [B] to say [F#] to me
[G#m] And how you suffered [C#m] for your sanity
[F#] How you tried to set [G#m] them free
They would not listen, [C#] they did not know how
_ _ [F#m] Perhaps [B] they'll listen now
For they [C#m] could not love you
_ [C#] _
[F#] Still your [B] love was true
_ [G#m] _
And when [G#] no hope was left in sight
[Em] On that starry, starry [F#] night
You took your life as lovers [G#m] often do
But I [C#m] could have told you, Vincent
[E] This world was never meant [F#] for one as [B] beautiful as you
_ _ _ _ Starry, starry [E] night
[B] _ _ _ Portraits hung [C#m] in empty halls
_ Frameless heads [E] on nameless walls
With [F#] eyes that watch the world [B] and can't forget
Like strangers that you've met _ _ _
The ragged [C#m] men in their raggy _ clothes
The silver [E] thorn of bloody rose
[F#] Like crushed and broken on the [B] virgin [E] snow
_ [B] _ _
Now I [C#m] think I know
[G#] _ _
[F#m] What you [B] tried to [F#] say to me
[G#m]
And how you suffered [C#m] for your sanity _
[F#] How you tried to [G#m] set them free
They [E] would not listen, [C#] they're not listening still
_ _ [C#m] _ _
Perhaps they [B] never [G#] will
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
