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 and 
          Am
love let me down.
C           F         G
Love let me down.


[Verse 2]

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.


[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         
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.
C      F          G
Never enough.


[Verse 4]

C                Am              
So I tried to forget it, that was
     G           C
 all part of the show.
                  Am           G  
Told myself I'd regret it, but 
       Am
what do I know
                Em                
about all these useless dreams of 
F
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                
come let me take this through the 
Am
end
             Em               
of all these useless dreams of 
  F
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)
