Colour Me In Gold

[Intro] Em7  D7M  Em7  D7M  D7M

Em7                D7M
You colour me in gold
Em7                     D7M
  Lips like petals on my throat
Em7                       
  And those fingertips like 
    D7M
paintbrush strokes
C7M             Bb7M             
Paper boats softly float like a 
     A
song we wrote
G7M/D                    D7M
But summer comes and summer goes
G7M/D                       D7M
You change your hair, you change 
your clothes
G7M/D                     D7M
The books you read help you explore
C7M                             A
The world that you believed in 
            Em7  D7M  Em7  D7M  D7M
once before

Em7                D7M
You colour me in gold
Em7                        D7M
Kiss the freckles on my nose
Em7                            
With those blood red pomegranate 
    D7M                C7M        
lips taking sips, hand on hip
    Bb7M

                          A
Your face could launch a thousand 
ships
G7M/D                 D7M
But winter comes and brings the snow
G7M/D                       D7M
You change your job, you change your
 home
G7M/D                   Bm       
Still reading books about the 
                    Bb5            
ghost of a world you can't be 
                   C5   Em
living anymore
And after all, you've been 
F#m7                              
nothing but good to me
     G

And the only way that I can pay you
A       A7         Em
 back
                F#m7          
Is to daily seek those distant 
                       G
memories
                              A
While I'm standing next to you

    G7M/D                  D7M
So when spring time comes and 
blossoms grow
G7M/D                      D7M
Come take my hand, can we expose
G7M/D            Bm              
The hideaways, the hidden doors, 
           Bb5                     
the stories we believed in
           C5


         Bb5                  
(Oh, oh) the land that we both 
        C5
dreamed in
D7M              Em7  D7M  Em7  
Once before (oh)
D7M  Em7

                            D7M
You colour me in gold
