verse 1 
******** 
C 
I walked by colorful sidewalk 
G 
Children with buckets of pastel chalk 
                 Am 
And I thought of you, my love 
             G 
I thought of you 
   C 
So I walked until the sun went down 
G 
I thought that no one else was around 
            Am 
Until I saw you, my love 
            G 
Until I saw you. 



   C 
My black, white life turns to color 
    G 
But baby, I'm with another 
     Am                                   G 
When you pull out your suitcase of finger paints 
   C 
My cheeks burn red from your kisses 
   G 
My blue heart shivers and misses 
     Am                                      G 
Your brushstrokes, a masterpiece made in the rain 
            C      G 
Made to was away. 


 
verse 2 
******** 
          C 
You build castles in the clouds,  
         G 
when the sky was clear and blue 
       Am                                G 
No one else sees cloud castles 'cept for me and you 
        C                                 G 
And the grayness turns to glitter, with a laugh and a wink 
        Am                        G 
All the buildings are outlined in orange, and gold and pink 



   C 
My black, white life turns to color 
    G 
But baby I'm with another  
       Am                           G 
So put away your suitcase of finger paints 
   C 
My cheeks burn red from your kisses 
   G 
My blue heart shivers and misses 
     Am                                      G 
Your brushstrokes, a masterpiece made in the rain 
             C     G   Am    G 
Made to wash away 
             C 
Made to wash away
