Chords in parentheses are over really long drawn out vowels,
so instead of writing "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar" and trying to
space out the chords over them, I just clumped them together
in parentheses. The rhythm shouldn't be hard to figure out for
these sections because it usually follows the same pattern as
similar parts of the song.
Intro:
Red is my favorite color
Red like your mother's eyes after awhile
Of crying about how you don't love her
She says, "I know I don't deserve
Supervised sight of her
But each day becomes a blur without my daughter"
Fall is my favorite season
Like falling to reasoning why you crashed from on high
She says, "Why is my life so uneven
And what have I done right
But given you your life
If after I let you on into that bar room... into that bar room?"
Interlude:
"Yes" is my favorite answer
I took a dancer home, she felt so alone
We stayed up all night in the kitchen
Doing my dishes, on and on until the dawn
She said, "I know that it's easy to have me
But I have seen some things
That I cannot even tell to my family pictures
And I'm full of fictions and fucking addictions
And I miss my mother"
Second Interlude*:
*The rhythm here is difficult to explain from the chords alone;
basically he switches between C and C9 for twelve measures. You
can hear it especially well from the left speaker.
She'll never know I could never forget her
If I could write her a letter, I'd try with every line
To say, "She still remembers your touch
And I know that it's not much
I know that it's not much
I know that it's not much
But you still haven't lost her
You still haven't lost her
You still haven't lost her
You still haven't lost her
Not yet"
