A Scale A Mirror And Those Indifferent Clocks Chords by Bright Eyes

C

Here is a scale, weigh it out and you will find easily

Em

More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see

Am

Were picked in advance by some careful hand

F G

With an absolute concept of beauty

C

They are smeared and these blurs come in random order

Em

To color the eyes of your former lovers

Am

Hers were green like July except when she cried

F G

They were red

C

Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat

Em

You contract it the day you accept all you see

Am

Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be

F G

A reflection of something we're missing

C

And language just happened, it was never planned

Em

And it's inadequate to describe where I am

Am

In the room of my house where the light has never been

F G

Waiting for this day to end

F G

And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore

Em Am

Everything that we hate or adore

F G

Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more

Em Am

So tell me then, what was it for?

F G C

Oh tell me, what was it for?
