C                  Am               G           C
Well, I tried to repress it, then I carried its crown.
                 Am             G           Am
I reached out to undress it and love let me down.
C           F         G
Love let me down.


[Verse 2]

C              Am               G              C
So I tried to erase it, but the ink bled right through.
                    Am               G            Am
Almost drove myself crazy when these words led to you.
              Em                F
And all these useless dreams of living alone
               G
like a dogless bone.


[Chorus]

C              Am   G     C
So come let me love you,
            Am   G       Am
come let me love you and then
C         F     G
colour me in.


[Verse 3]

C                    Am         G        C
Well, I tried to control it and cover it up.
                    Am              G      Am
I reached out to console it. It was never enough.
C      F          G
Never enough.


[Verse 4]

C                Am                   G           C
So I tried to forget it, that was all part of the show.
                  Am           G         Am
Told myself I'd regret it, but what do I know
                Em                F
about all these useless dreams of living alone
               G
like a dogless bone.


[Chorus]

C              Am   G     C
So come let me love you,
            Am   G       Am
come let me love you and then
C         F    G
colour me in.

C           Am   G      C
Come let me love you,
            Am   G                Am
come let me take this through the end
             Em                 F
of all these useless dreams of living,
             G                Am
in all these useless dreams
          Em                F
all these useless dreams of living
             G   C
in all these old noes...

   C           F    G      C
So come let me love you,
            F    G      C
come let me love you,
            F   G       C
come let me love you,
            F   G       
come let me in.

Am Em F G (4x)
