Verso 1:
   D                                 G 
I don't know what's been goin' on inside that head of yours 
     D                                    G 
But lately, you've been lookin' out that window more 
     D                            G 
That gypsy soul inside of you is what I fell in love with 
  D                             G 
I wonder if it's comin' back to haunt me 
G 
And I'm so afraid that... 



D                              G 
Maybe there's a star somewhere in another sky 
D                            G 
Those California colors are easy on the eyes 
D                                      G 
If you think the world looks better on that side of the fence 
     D                             G 
I'll paint the grass green like a technicolor dream 
       D                           G 
If our love has faded, babe, I'll brighten up the scene 
      D                     D G D G 
I'll paint the grass green 


Verso 2:
      D                           G 
They say that if you love someone, don't hold 'em back 
    D                                 G 
But I can't quite convince myself I'm cool with that 
      D                                G 
I'll change the way I kiss you or the way I take my coffee 
    D                       G 
However big or small, I'll fight for it all 


 
D                              G 
Maybe there's a star somewhere in another sky 
D                             G 
Those California colors are easy on the eyes 
D                                      G 
If you think the world looks better on that side of the fence 
     D                             G 
I'll paint the grass green like a technicolor dream 
       D                           G 
If our love has faded, babe, I'll brighten up the scene 
      D                     D G D G 
I'll paint the grass green 

Ponte: 
               D        G 
I'll make the roses red 
            D          G 
Give you a gold sunset 
                   D      G 
Tell me it's not over yet 

 
    D                              G 
Oh, maybe there's a star somewhere in another sky 
D                             G 
Those California colors are easy on the eyes 
D                                      G 
I'll get down on my knees if you're still up on the fence 
     D                             G 
I'll paint the grass green like a technicolor dream 
       D                           G 
If our love has faded, babe, I'll brighten up the scene 
      D                     G D G 
I'll paint the grass green 

Outro 
    G                  D G 
If that's what you need 
       D                    G D 
I'll paint the grass green
