[G] [A] [C] [G]
[A] [C] [G] Oh Red eyes his back, [A] Red from [C] the night before, the [G] night before.
Walked into [A] Rumba, walked [C] into a door.
[G] Oh Red's in town, [A] sitting late [C] at night.
He [G] doesn't make a sound, just [A] adding to the [C] wrinkles on his deathbed.
[G]
They're only red from all [A] the tears that [C] I should have [G] shed.
They're only red from all [A] the [C] pain.
[G] So when you look into [A] these eyes, [C] I hope you [G] realize they could never be blue.
[A] They could never [C] be blue.
[G] They could never be blue.
[A] They could never [C] be blue.
[G] Listen up, oh Red.
[Em] You [A] never listened [C] to a word the [G] doctor said.
He told you [A] if you drank [C] another, you'd [G] be dead.
Oh Red eyes his back.
[A] He showed his ache [C] all around [G] his brain and son.
He paused [A] to drink [G] and listened [C] to his body [G] talk.
They're only red from all [A] the thoughts unused [C] inside [G] my head.
They're only red from all [A] the things I could [C] have done instead.
[G] So when you look into [A] these eyes, [C] I hope you [G] realize they could never be blue.
[A] They could never be [C] blue.
[G] They could never be blue.
[A] They [C] could never be blue.
[G]
I was just trying [C] to [G]
help [A] [C] my friend.
[G]
[A] [C] [G]
He's [A] the color of [C] the [G] land.
Oh Red, he died.
[A] And every [C] single landlord in [G] the district cried.
An empty [A] bottle of whiskey [C] laying by [G] his side.
A lazy little [A] tea, a runny, [C] runny [G] child.
They could never be blue.
[A] They could never be [C] blue.
[G] They could never be [A] blue.
They could never be [C] blue.
