CHAMELEON BOY (ACOUSTIC) - Blue October

DISCLAIMER - this is NOT the exact way Justin Furstenfeld plays this song! The basic
chords are correct, but the picking is arbitrary. I simplified this for my own skill
level. Watch the video above to see how Justin plays it himself.
G - 320033 (you need that B string in there if you are finger-picking the song.)
Am7 - x02010

Play this riff throughout the whole verse, or you can just
strum or arpeggiate these chords (use regular Am if strumming):
Am7 Am7
I changed my color for you, I shed my coat with caution
G G
I lack the beauty you display
Am7 Am7
See here they are the bruises and some were self-inflicted
G G
And some showed up along the way
Am7 Am7
So I nod my head, I'm ready for the world to see
G
The secret i kept here inside the man you thought id be
Am7 Am7
Slip into coma calm, the coma where I calm myself down
G
Here comes excuses why I let you down
==CHORUS==
C G
Stand by for another breakdown, sound off the alarm
C G
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?
Am7 G
Chameleon boy
Am7 G
Chameleon boy
==VERSE==
Am7 Am7
So now we've come upon the hardest thing I've ever done
G G
Its telling you that I'm a mess
Am7 Am7
What sort of mess I mean is self-destructive gasoline
G G
The kind that strips you of your best
Am7 Am7
And while i play instead the way that most would end up dead
G G
You sleep alone at home and wish that I was in our bed
Am7 Am7
With this I'm telling you, my color changes back to blue
G
How do i ask you this... will you help me through?
==CHORUS==
C G
Stand by for another breakdown, sound off the alarm
C G
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?
C G
Stand by for another breakdown, sound off the alarm
C G
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?
Am7 G
Chameleon boy
Am7 G
Chameleon boy
==VERSE/BRIDGE==
Am7
I try to think of all the people i look up to
G
Or growing up who would I be
Am7
Now the fuckked up part, where did all my idols end up?
G
They all passed away, Passed away
==CHORUS==
C G
Stand by for another breakdown, sound off the alarm
C G
It's the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become
Am7 G
Chameleon boy
Am7 G
Chameleon boy
