Vincent Chords by Josh Groban

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Starry, starry [C] _
_ _ _ [F] night. _ _
Paint [Gm] your palette blue and grey.
[G] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] Look out [Bb] on a [F] summer's day.
_ [C] With eyes that know the darkness in my [F] soul. _
[Gm] Shadows on [F] the _ _ _ [G] hills.
_ _ [F] _ Sketch the trees [Gm] and _ daffodils.
_ [G] _ _ [Gm] _
_ Catch the [G] breeze and the [F] winter chills.
[Bb] _ In colors on the [C]
snowy linen _ [F] land.
_ _ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ _ Now [C] I [Gm] _
[G] understand.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
What you [F] tried to say [Em] _
to [Dm] me.
And how [Am] you suffered for [Gm] your sanity.
_ _ _ _ _ [C]
And how you tried to set them [Dm] free.
They would not listen.
[G] They did not know _ how.
_ [Gm] _ _ [C] Perhaps they'll listen [F] _ _ now.
_ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ Starry, _ starry _ _ _ [C] _ [F] night. _
Flaming [Gm] flowers that brightly _ _ [G]
blaze.
[Gm] _ _ _ Swirling [F] clouds in violet haze.
_ [C] Reflect in Vincent's eyes of [F] China blue. _
Colors [C] _ [F] changing hue.
_ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ Morning [G] fields of [Gm] amber _ grey. _ _ _
_ Weathered [Bb] faces blind in pain.
[Am] Are [C] soothed beneath the artist's loving _ _ _ hand. _
_ _ Now I _ [Gm] understand.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
What you [F] tried to _ [Em] say to _ [Dm] me.
And how you suffered for [Gm] your sanity.
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] And how you tried to set [Dm] them free.
They would not listen.
[G] They did not know _ how.
[Gm] _ _ _ Perhaps [C] they'll listen [F] _ _ [G] now.
For they could not [Gm]
love you.
_ _ [C] _ But still your [F] love was _ [C] true. _
_ [Dm] _ _ And when [Gm] no hope was left inside.
On [Bbm] that starry, starry night.
You [F] took your life [Eb] as lovers often [D] _ do. _
But I could have told you [Gm] Vincent. _
_ _ [Bb] This world was never meant.
[C] For one as _ beautiful _ _ as [F] _ you.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Dm] Like the [Bb] strangers [F] that you _ met.
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ The ragged men [Gm] in ragged _ clothes.
[D] _ _
_ The silver [Bb] thorn.
A bloody _ rose.
[C] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin [F] snow.
_ Now [D] I think [Gm] I know.
[F] _ _ [C] _
_ _ What you tried [F] to _ [Db] say to _ [Dm] me.
And how [F] you suffered for [Gm] your sanity. _ _
_ _ [C] And how you tried to set them [Dm] free.
They would not listen.
_ [G] They're not listening [G] still. _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] Perhaps [C] they never _ _ [F] will.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
