Intro: C F C 

C 
Tell me  
What is a life?  
A life without colours  
Can you see them?  
Have the years made us blind?  
F 
As a child  
Living life´s imagination  
C 
You´d close your eyes  
And all the colours went wild  

G                       F 
Now the outlines been drawn  
             G 
On an empty page  
                    F 
And I´ve opened my eyes 

     C 
And you you you  
              G 
You colour me in  
                        Dm 
Turn me round when I´m wrong  
               F 
You make me strong  
              C 
You colour me in 

C 
Have you ever stopped and listen to your heartbeat?  
Did the tears make the colours start to fade?  
F 
If all the wrongs we ever did were not forgiven  
C  
Time would stop  
And the world would turn to grey 

G                     F  
You know I carry you with me  
Night and day  
G                      F 
Yeah you´ve opened my eyes 

     C 
And you you you  
                G 
You colour me in  
                        Dm 
Turn me round when I´m wrong  
               F 
You make me strong  
               C 
You colour me in 

Yeah you you you  
               G 
You colour me in  
                        Dm 
You´re the blue skies above  
                   F 
You´re so easy to love  
               C 
You colour me in 

Am 
Pictures of angels  
F 
Floating above  
Am 
We all need  
                    G 
To be painted with love 

     C 
And you you you  
              G 
You colour me in  
                         Dm 
Turn me round when I´m wrong  
               F 
You make me strong  
               C 
You colour me in 

And you you you  
               G 
You colour me in  
                        Dm 
You´re the blue skies above  
                   F 
You´re so easy to love  
              C 
You colour me in 
              G
