[Verse 1]
Am                                  C
The colours of your wings, they were faded
    F                         C     F
And hung by the sides of your jeans in this shadow
    Em      Am         F             G                C
The story untold of a girl who'd forgotten her dreams
    F                              C
The words on your lips they sat so neatly
F                    C         F
Spoke with a perfect restraint in their record
   Em      Am           F                    G
A longing unfolds of a voice that was never heard
                 F     C
So I listened to every word

[Chorus]
Am               F
Now I will never leave
              C
Despite these words
               G
And all of the tides around us
   Am       C          F
So you can spread your wings
                C
And all of your colours
                  G               F
Will light up the skies above us, oh
C                         F
          And all of your colours
C                           G
          Will light up the skies

[Verse 2]
F                                   C
     Collect your thoughts and your things
F                         C            G
     We'll be gone by the light of the morning
             Am        F                 C          G
So don't you ever give up, 'cause I will never give in
              Am            F           G
Where there's hope there is strength to begin

[Chorus]
Am            F
I will never leave
              C
Despite these words
               G
And all of the tides around us
   Am                  F
So you can spread your wings
                C
And all of your colours
                  G               F
Will light up the skies above us, oh
C                        F
         And all of your colours
C                        F       C
         And all of your colours
                  G    C   G
Will light up the skies

[Instrumental]
F   C   F   C   F   Em   Am   F   G   C

[Verse 3]
    F
The colours of your wings
     C
They were jaded
    Am                           C
The hour lie your greener grass, girl
     F
So I bought you a brush
      Em             Am
and I stood back to watch
  F          G         C
A woman then color her world

[Outro]
Am           F
I will never leave
              C
Despite these words
               G
And all of the tides around us
   Am                  F
So you can spread your wings
                C
And all of your colours
                  G                    F
Will light up the skies above us, oh
C                       F
        And all of your colours
C                       F
        And all of your colours
C                 G
Will light up the sky
G                  C
Will light up the sky
