Years ago back when I was a teacher
      A                       C#m7
I was teaching my class about light
F#m7                        B
Infrared on the left of the spectrum
           Bm7                E     G
Through to ultraviolet on the right
  A                       Asus2
I showed them the primary colours
         A                         C#m7
And drew circles of blue green and red
  F#m                            B7
I explained that each colour had its own wavelength
        Bm7          E           A
And the pupils wrote down what I said.
          F                           C
While the class settled down to their homework
    F                      C
One curious boy raised his hand
          F                       C
He looked troubled with eyes open wide so I asked

         B7                  E           E7
Is there something you don't understand?

[Chorus]
          C                         Am
Does that mean there aren't any more colours?
          C                         Am
Does that mean that I've seen every one?
          Bb9                         Dm
I'd hoped one day to find shades that just blew my mind
         Bb9                     G7
But I'll never have that kind of fun
         C                      Am
If there really aren't any more colours
             C                    E7
And there'll never be new ones to see
         Dm
All this time it would seem it was pointless to dream
        G7                            C    E
And the world seems less colourful to me.

Well I just didn't know what to tell him
      A                     C#m7
As he stared at me expectantly
       F#m7                      B
Did he know that I felt just the same way as him
        Bm7                     E    G
The day my science teacher told me?

[Chorus]
         C                           Am
It's not true that there are no more colours
         C                           Am
It's not true that you've seen every shade
        Bb9                         Dm
All the reds and the greens and the vast in betweens
       Bb9                    G7
Can be blended in endless new ways
           C                  Am
There's an infinite number of colours
         C                     E7
That can shock and delight and surprise
        Dm
You can have any shade when you know how it's made
         G7                  C
And it's only a trick of the eyes.
