When Your Colours Go

|C  F|Am  |C  F|Am  |


[Verse 1]
C                            F   
I am the colour of an autumn 
      Am
flurry of leaves in a breeze for you
    Dm              Am            
And I am a study in hues of grey 
       G                F
and the blue of a broken day for you
C                               
Oh the hurry, the press of your 
Dm          Am
body in the embers of an afternoon
      Dm                Am        
Now I spend my money on something 
        G                     Dm  
stupid, trying to believe I belong
          G
 to you


[Chorus]
G                                
Oh when the colours go, when the 
C               F
colours go they won't come back
    C           G                 
You strip me right, you strip them
              C              
 right out so maybe you would 
 F
welcome that
    C         G                   
And I don't know where your 
                  C            F
colours go, but if your colours go I
 won't come back
  C          F         Em        
I won't come back, but maybe you 
                G
would welcome that

[Verse 2]
C                        F       
Oh we linger in the cold comfort 
        Am
of each other in your bedroom
    Dm                   Am       
And we are the colour of something
           G                       
 borrowed, trying to believe we're 
Dm
something new


[Chorus]
    G                            
And oh when your colours go, when 
      C               F
your colours go they won't come back
    C           G                 
You strip me right, you strip them
              C              
 right out so maybe you would 
 F
welcome that
    C         G                   
And I don't know where your 
                    C            F
colours go, but when your colours go
 I won't come back
    C           G              
You strip me right, you strip me 
               C               F
right out so maybe you would welcome
 that
  C          F         Em        
I won't come back, but maybe you 
                G
would welcome that


[Bridge]
Bb            Am          C     
  And in this garden we were 
        F   F/E
barely kept
Bb           Am            D
  So maybe more should be less
F            Em      Am          
  We're only antique blooms, on 
  D       F
an unmade bed


[Chorus]
    G                            
And oh when your colours go, when 
      C            F
your colours go I won't come back
    C            G                
You strip me right, you strip them
              C              
 right out so maybe you would 
 F
welcome that
    C         G                   
And I don't know where your 
                    C              
colours go, but when your colours 
 F
go they won't come back
    C           G              
You strip me right, you strip me 
               C               F
right out so maybe you would welcome
 that
    C         G                   
And I don't know where your 
                    C              
colours go, but when your colours 
 F
go they won't come back
     C          F         Em     
They don't come back, and maybe 
                   G
you would welcome that

And I am the colour of an autumn 
 F         Am
flurry of leaves in a breeze for you
    Dm              Am            
And I am a study in hues of grey 
       G                C
