[Intro]
C  Em  F  C     Em  F   G C

[Verse 1]
C                                                  Em
You get lost in the moment on the day you turn nineteen
         Am                                                     F
And your food's sitting cold on the table 'cause you just won't eat
       C                                            Em
Now it is what it is, but it ain't what it used to be
          Am                                               F
You drive home all alone in the cold 'cause you're turning thirty

[Chorus]
        C                    G
And the right song plays the right rhyme
       Am         G        C
At the right time just for you
      C                G
Is it Coltrane? "Roll 'Em Easy"?
          Am      G       F
Or is the blue tangled in you?
      C                G
Is it Coltrane? "Roll 'Em Easy"?
          Am      G       C
Or is the blue tangled in you?

[Interlude]
Em             F
 Z-A-C-H-A-R-Y L-A-N-E, Zachary Lane
C
Where's Zach's nose? And there's his eyes, and there's his ears
C
Ain't you gonna live forever? Ain't you gonna die young?
Em
You can't have it both ways, boy, you're better off picking one
F
Ain't you gonna be a big star? You love when they call your name
C
Ain't you gonna be yourself and fuck up everything?

[Verse 2]
C                                              Em
She is who she is, but she ain't who she was before
          Am                                                           F
Give your soul, give your heart, give your lungs, and she'll just want more
        C                                          Em
And she is who she is, but she ain't who she was before
      Am                                                 C
Is it blood, is it love, is it spilled milk still on the floor?

[Chorus]
        C                    G
And the right song plays the right rhyme
       Am         G        C
At the right time just for you
      C                G
Is it Coltrane? "Roll 'Em Easy"?
          Am      G       F
Or is the blue tangled in you?
      C                G
Is it Coltrane? "Roll 'Em Easy"?
          Am      G       C
Or is the blue tangled in you?

[Outro]
              Am       G       C
She's got the blues tangled in you
       Am      G       C
Is the blue tangled in you?
              Am       G       C
She's got the blues tangled in you
