G                 D                              G
Just think of the lives you could swap with your own
                          D                        C
While you're selling your coats you're sewing your own
                      F#        C
You know it's not the easy way
                       F#
Sometimes we've got to pay to play
            Bm         F#
With finger paints and macramé
             Bm        A
It's time we asked our See N' Say
                  A7        D
Could you bring a different nomenclature

                            A     A7
Now the colors have bled to gray
                    D
To ones that don't exist in nature
                                  A
Our nomenclature is washin' away
              D
Washin' away
                                  A
Our nomenclature is washin' away
              D
Washin' away
                           A
But did it carry you away
                    E7
Carry you all away
            A
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
            Dm
Bum bum bum bum
Gm     A    D
Ooo... ooh

                   A   A7
Did it carry you away
                D
Carry you all away
                          A   A7
Nomenclature is washin' away
                      D
It's washing us all away
                          A
Nomenclature is washin' away
                      E7  A
It's washing us all away
