42 Shades of Blue Over You

Key: A minor – Slow, soulful groove

[Verse 1]

Am
Woke up this morning with the rain on my chest
F
Every drop a memory I tried to forget
C
Your ghost still lingers like a melody gone wrong
G
I count the shades of sorrow in my song

[Verse 2]

Am
There’s the midnight blue of your goodbye
F
The steel blue silence when you wouldn’t cry
C
The navy truth in what you wouldn’t say
G
And the pale blue light when you walked away

[Chorus]

F
Forty-two shades of blue over you
Am
Each one a color my heart never knew
C
Painted my world in heartbreak’s hue
G
Forty-two shades of blue... over you

[Verse 3]

Am
There’s a denim ache in the way I recall
F
The powder blue hope before the fall
C
The cobalt fight we never won
G
And the baby blue dreams that came undone

[Chorus]

F
Forty-two shades of blue over you
Am
Each one a whisper of love untrue
C
Bleeding my soul, staining me through
G
Forty-two shades of blue... over you

[Bridge]

F
I tried to mix in a little gold
Am
Some silver lining in the cold
C
But every time I reach for light
G
The canvas turns back to night

[Final Chorus]

F
Forty-two shades of blue over you
Am
I wear them proud like a scar tattoo
C
They tell the story of what we blew
G Am
Forty-two shades of blue... over you
