Mistress of the mind

Take me where the air is clean
Dm
Ignorance is kind

Emerald and evergreen
Am          G               Am           G
30 days September, year of miracle and grief
Am                   G
Through the haze, Remember
F                        C      G
You're an animal, not a mineral

[Chorus]
       Am
And we won the war, lost the battle
G
Lost the war, won the battle
Am
Won the war, lost the battle
G
Lost the war
Am                      G
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Am             G
Color for the colorblind
Am                       G
All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Dm
Through the human eye

Nature a soul extreme
Dm
Nothing seems to die
G                 F    C
Pictures in a magazine
Am                    G
Through the maze, precisely
            Am           G
Through the myriad of schemes
Am                 G
With your gaze, entice me
F                      C       G
Like an animal, not a mineral

[Chorus]
       Am
And we won the war, lost the battle
G
Lost the war, won the battle
Am
Won the war, lost the battle
G
Lost the war
Am                      G
All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Color for the colorblind
Am                       G
All for the love of the humdrum and humble

All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Am               G
Rubbishing the philistines
Am                       G
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
