Colour Me In

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

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

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

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

C                Am             
So I tried to forget it, it was 
G               C
all part of the show.
           Am           G         
And so I regret it, but what do I 
Am
know
               Em               
with all these useless dreams of 
 F
living alone
       G
like a dogless bone.

So come let me love you,
            Am   G       Am

             Em                
of all these useless dreams I'm

and all these, oh, no...
