[Verse]
        C                  Am
You were smiling at me, hanging languidly
        Em         Dm
On your car door window
C                     Am
Very blue, very green
                                Em
The ocean breeze and shuffling trees
         F   G
Pacific seas

[Chorus]
Dm
Very blue
        Am
When I catch a memory, that's me
Dm
Very blue
        F
That's you
              G
— In my mind, too

[Verse]
C
The last time
               Am
You were really, There with me
             Em
You wore this patterned thing
Dm
C'mon, You know what I mean
       C
It was great;
                      Am
Shades of blue and verdant green
        Em
And crossing the street
                     F   G
You grinned like you did, always —

[Chorus]
Dm
Very blue
               Am
Both you and I, watch out now, you'll make me cry
Dm
Very blue
           F   G
What's a shade anyway?

[Bridge]
Em
I remember trying hard
                Am
Just to wake you up
                   Em
You kept repeating
                 Dm
The same things, over & over
        C
Turning blue, turning green
                 Am
I know what you mean, when you say you can't see me
       Em
The same way
         F
You used to,
             G
But still I get

[Chorus]
Dm
Very blue
               Am
Both you and I, watch out now, you'll make me cry
Dm
Very blue
           F   G
What's a shade anyway?
