You with the sad eyes

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside you

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful, 
       Am 
Like a Rainbow

Show me a smile then, 
Don't be unhappy, can't remember 
When I last saw you laughing 
If this world makes you crazy 
And you've taken all you can bear 
You call me up 
Because you know I'll be there 
 
CHORUS

When I last saw you laughing 
If this world makes you crazy 
And you've taken all you can bear 
You call me up 
Because you know I'll be there

Shining through 
I'll see your true colors 
And that's why I love you 
So don't be afraid to let them show 
Your true colors, true colors,

true colors are shining through 
              F    G 
I'll see your true colors 
    F            G 
And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show 
F       C       F   C 
Your true colors, true colors

Beautiful, 
             Am 
Like a Rainbow
