[Intro 1]
[C][F][Am][C][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]I am the colour of an Au
[F]tumn flurry of [Am]leaves in a breeze for you.
And [Dm]I am a study in [Am]hues of grey and the blu[G]e of a broken da[F]y for you. Oh [C]the hurry,
the press of your [Dm]body in the [Am]embers of an afternoon.
Now [Dm]I spend my money on [Am]something stupid,
try[G]ing to believe I be[Dm]long to [G]you.
Oh when the colours go, when the col[C]ours go,
they [F]won't come back.
[C]You strip me [G]right, you strip them right out,
so [C]maybe you would [F]welcome that.
And [C]I dont k[G]now where your colours go but if
your [C]colours go I [F]won't come back.
[C]I won't come [F]back.
[Em]But maybe you would
welcome [G]that.[C][Dm][Am]
[G]Oh [F]we [C]lin[Dm]ger i[Am]n th[C]e cold com
[F]fort of each [Am]other in your bedroom.
And [Dm]we are the colour of[G] s[Am]omething borrowed,
try[G]ing to believe we're [Dm]something new.
And [G]oh when your colours go,
when your col[C]ours go they [F]won't come back.
[C]You strip me [G]right, you strip them right
out so [C]maybe you would [F]welcome that
And [C]I don't k[G]now where your colours go but when
your col[C]ours go they [F]don't come back.
You strip [C]me right,
[G]you strip out so maybe you[C] would wel[F]come that
[C]I won't come [F]back.
[Em]But maybe you would welcome [G]that.[Bb]
And in this [Am]garden we [C]were barely [Am]kep t.
[F]So [Bb]maybe more sh[Am]ould be less.
[D]We're [F]only ant[Em]ique blo[Am]oms,
on an [D]unmade [F]bed.[G]
Oh when your colours go,
when your col[C]ours go I [F]won't come back.
[C]You strip me [G]right, you strip me right out
so [C]maybe you would [F]welcome that.
And [C]I don't k[G]now where your colours go but when
your [C]colours go they [F]won't come back
[C]You strip me [G]right, you strip me right out
so [C]maybe you would [F]welcome that.
And [C]I don't k[G]now where your colours go but when
your [C]colours go they [F]won't come back.
[C]They don't come [F]back.
And [Em]maybe you would welcome
[G]that.[C][Dm][Am][F][C]
[Dm][Am]
And [C]I am the colour of an autumn
[F]flurry of [Am]leaves in a breeze for you.
And [Dm]I am a study of hu[Am]es of grey,
[G]and the blue of a broken day for you.
