Can play the riff alongside the C at the start of each line in the chorus. Sounds pretty cool. [Intro] C Am G C Am G Am (Riff) F G [Verse 1]
C                  F               G           C
Well, I tried to repress it, then I carried its crown.

                 F             G           Am
I reached out to undress it and love let me down.

(Riff)         F         G
Love let me down.
[Verse 2]
C              F               G              C
So I tried to erase it, but the ink bled right through.

                    F               G            Am
Almost drove myself crazy when these words led to you.

              Em                F
And all these useless dreams of living alone

               G
like a dogless bone.
[Chorus]
C              Am   G     C
So come let me love you,

            Am   G       Am
come let me love you and then

(Riff)     F     G
colour me in.
[Verse 3]
C                    F         G        C
Well, I tried to control it and cover it up.

                    F              G      Am
I reached out to console it. It was never enough.

(Riff)       F          G
Never enough.
[Verse 4]
C               F                   G           C
So I tried to forget it, that was all part of the show.

                  F           G         Am
Told myself I'd regret it, but what do I know

                Em                F
about all these useless dreams of living alone

               G
like a dogless bone.
[Chorus]
C              Am   G     C
So come let me love you,

            Am   G       Am
come let me love you and then

(Riff)        F    G
colour me in.

C           Am   G      C
Come let me love you,

            Am   G                Am
come let me take this through the end

             Em                 F
of all these useless dreams of living,

             G                F
in all these useless dreams

          Em                F
all these useless dreams of living

             G
in all these old noes...

   C           Am   G      C
So come let me love you,

            Am   G      C
come let me love you,

            Am   G       C
come let me love you,

           Am  G       Cx2
come let me in
