  			Colorful – Steel Dragon 

      A9            D9            D4            D   
       The show is over - close the storybook 
      A9   D9    D4   D  
       Will be no encore 
      A9            D9            D4            D  
       And all the random hands that I have shook 
                 A9        D9        D4        D  
       Well, they're reaching for the door 
       F#m                                  Gm 
       I watch the backs as they leave single | -file 
       F#m                                  Gm 
       You stood stubborn, cheering all the while 

   Chorus: 

     (A9  D) 
       I know I can be colorful 
       
       I know I can be grey 
      
       I know this loser's living fortunate 
       F#m                                   Gm  
       ‘Cause I know you will love me either way 
    

(A9 A9 D D)  (2X) 

(A9  D) 
Most were being good for goodness sake 

But you wouldn't pantomime 

You are more beautiful when you awake 

Than most are in a lifetime 

(F#m  Gm) 
Through the haze that is my memory 

You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy 

Chorus (1X) 

(A9  D) (4X) 

Bridge: 
F#m                         Gm 
Look ahead as far as you can see 
F#m                         Gm 
We live in drama but we die in a comedy 

 Chorus: 

(A9  D) 
I know I can be colorful (when you live in black and white) 
I know I can be grey (my colors fade away) 
I know this loser's living fortunate                      (2X) 

 

F#m                                  Gm     F#m                                Gm 
‘Cause I know you will love me...’cause I know you will love me... 
F#m                                  Gm 
‘cause I know you will love me either way!!! 

(A9  D9  D4  D)  (4X)
