A Scale A Mirror And Those Indifferent Clocks Chords

[Verse 1]
          C
Here is a scale, weigh it out and you'll find easily
          Em
More than sufficient doubt that these colors you see
     Am
Were picked in advance by some careful hand 
        F                   G7
With an absolute concept of beauty 
 
[Verse 2]
        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             G7
They were red
 
[Verse 3]
     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                           G7
A reflection of something we're missing
 
[Verse 4]
   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                       G7
Waiting for this day to end
 
[Chorus]
         F                         G
And these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore
Em                 Am       G
Everything that we hate or adore
        F                     G
Once the page of a calendar is turned it's no more
  Em                        Am   G
So tell me then, what was it for?
  F        G           C
Oh tell me, what was it for?
