[Intro] Em7 D7M Em7 D7M D7M
Em7 D7M
You colour me in gold
Em7 D7M
Lips like petals on my throat
Em7 D7M
And those fingertips like paintbrush strokes
C7M Bb7M A
Paper boats softly float like a song we wrote
G7M/D D7M
But summer comes and summer goes
G7M/D D7M
You change your hair, you change your clothes
G7M/D D7M
The books you read help you explore
C7M A Em7 D7M Em7 D7M D7M
The world that you believed in once before
Em7 D7M
You colour me in gold
Em7 D7M
Kiss the freckles on my nose
Em7 D7M C7M Bb7M
With those blood red pomegranate lips taking sips, hand on hip
A
Your face could launch a thousand ships
G7M/D D7M
But winter comes and brings the snow
G7M/D D7M
You change your job, you change your home
G7M/D Bm Bb5 C5 Em
Still reading books about the ghost of a world you can't be living anymore
F#m7 G
And after all, you've been nothing but good to me
A A7 Em
And the only way that I can pay you back
F#m7 G
Is to daily seek those distant memories
A
While I'm standing next to you
G7M/D D7M
So when spring time comes and blossoms grow
G7M/D D7M
Come take my hand, can we expose
G7M/D Bm Bb5 C5
The hideaways, the hidden doors, the stories we believed in
Bb5 C5
(Oh, oh) the land that we both dreamed in
D7M Em7 D7M Em7 D7M Em7
Once before (oh)
D7M
You colour me in gold
