            F
And it was tough
      C                             Dm
Well tough, as much as anything is tough in
this life
      F                   C
It is one, as the city is one
                          Dm
Though it seems like it's many
   F                             Em
Anyone in their right mind would know
         Dm
Blur the lines between the flowers that grow
         F             Em           G
In your head, in your den, as the spider

Chorus:
                 F
C-c-c-colour collider
        Em
Come collide with me
Dm
You just flap your wings
                   F
And I'm a million miler
       Em
I was born to be
Dm                                       F
You just make a mess of things that are simple

Well, simple as much as anything's simple in
this life
But it's blurred, as my eyes become blurred
And my head begins pounding
And anyone with any grounding hobbies
Wouldn't find it hard to clear your face for a fiver
But you're not the best looking either

Chorus:
C-c-c-come on, colour collider
Come collide with me
You just flap your wings
And I'm the million miler
I was born to be
You just make a mess of things
Colour collider
Come collide with me
You just flap your wings
Now I'm the million miler
I would like to be
You just make a, you just make a mess of things

Em  Dm
Yeah
                     F   Em Dm
You make a mess of things
                     F   Em Dm
You make a mess of things
                     F  G F Em Dm
You make a mess of things

Chorus:
C-c-c-colour collider
Come collide with me
You just flap your wings
Now I'm the million miler
I was born to be
You just make a mess of things

Colour collider
Come collide with me
You just flap your wings
Now I'm the million miler
I was born to be
You just make a mess of things
Colour collider
Come collide with me
You just flap your wings
Now I'm the million miler
I was born to be
You just make a mess of things

You just make a mess of things
You just make a mess of things
You just make a mess of things
