Emaj7 Dmaj7 Emaj7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Emaj7 Dmaj7
You colour me in gold
Emaj7 Dmaj7
Lips like petals on my throat
Emaj7 Dmaj7 Cmaj7
And those fingertips like paintbrush strokes
Bm
Paper boats softly float
A C#maj7
Like a song we wrote
Dmaj7* Amaj7
But summer comes and summer goes
Dmaj7* Amaj7
You change your hair you change your clothes
Damj7* Bm
The books you read help you explore
A C#maj7
A world that you believed in
Emaj7 Dmaj7 Emaj7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Once before
Emaj7 Dmaj7
You colour me in gold
Emaj7 Dmaj7
Kiss the freckles on my nose
Emaj7 Dmaj7
With those blood-red pomegranate lips
Cmaj7 Bm
Taking sips, hand on hip
A C#maj7
Your face could launch a thousand ships
Dmaj7* Amaj7
But winter comes and brings the snow
Dmaj7* Amaj7
You change your job, you change your home
Damj7* Bmin
Still reading books about the ghost
Bbmaj7 C#maj7
Of a world you can't be living
Em
Anymore
A/E
And after all you've been nothing but good to me
G Dmaj7 A* Em
And the only way that I can pay you back
A/E G
Is to daily seek those distant memories
A*
While I'm standing next to you
Dmaj7* Amaj7
So, when springtime comes and blossoms grow
Dmaj7* Amaj7
Come take my hand, can we expose
Damj7* Bm
The hideaways, the hidden doors
Bbmaj7 C#maj7
The stories we believed in
Bbmaj7
Ooooh
C#maj7
The land that we both dreamed in
Emaj7 Dmaj7 Emaj7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Once before
You colour me in gold
