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                           D7M
  And those fingertips like paintbrush strokes
C7M             Bb7M                  A
Paper boats softly float like 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            Em7  D7M  Em7  D7M  D7M
The world that you believed in once before

Continues after the ad
Em7                D7M
You colour me in gold
Em7                        D7M
Kiss the freckles on my nose
Em7                                D7M                C7M            Bb7M
With those blood red pomegranate lips taking sips, hand on hip
                          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                           Bb5                               C5   Em
Still reading books about the ghost of a world you can't be living anymore
                                 F#m7                                   G
And after all, you've been nothing but good to me
                                   A       A7         Em
And the only way that I can pay you back
                F#m7                                 G
Is to daily seek those distant 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                         Bb5                                C5
The hideaways, the hidden doors, the stories we believed in

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