Chords

[Intro] |C F|Am |C F|Am | [Verse 1]
C                            F         Am
I am the colour of an autumn flurry of leaves in a breeze for you

    Dm              Am                   G                F
And I am a study in hues of grey and the blue of a broken day for you

C                               Dm          Am
Oh the hurry, the press of your body in the embers of an afternoon

      Dm                Am                G                     Dm            G
Now I spend my money on something stupid, trying to believe I belong to you
[Chorus]
G                                C               F
Oh when the colours go, when the colours go they won't come back

    C           G                               C               F
You strip me right, you strip them right out so maybe you would welcome that

    C         G                                     C            F
And I don't know where your colours go, but if your colours go I won't come back

  C          F         Em                        G
I won't come back, but maybe you would welcome that
[Interlude] |C Dm|Am F|C Dm|Am | [Verse 2]
C                        F               Am
Oh we linger in the cold comfort of each other in your bedroom

    Dm                   Am                  G                       Dm
And we are the colour of something borrowed, trying to believe we're something new
[Chorus]
    G                                  C               F
And oh when your colours go, when your colours go they won't come back

    C           G                               C               F
You strip me right, you strip them right out so maybe you would welcome that

    C         G                                       C            F
And I don't know where your colours go, but when your colours go I won't come back

    C           G                             C               F
You strip me right, you strip me right out so maybe you would welcome that

  C          F         Em                        G
I won't come back, but maybe you would welcome that
[Bridge]
Bb            Am          C             F   F/E
  And in this garden we were barely kept

Bb           Am            D
  So maybe more should be less

F            Em      Am            D       F
  We're only antique blooms, on an unmade bed
[Chorus]
    G                                  C            F
And oh when your colours go, when your colours go I won't come back

    C            G                              C               F
You strip me right, you strip them right out so maybe you would welcome that

    C         G                                       C               F
And I don't know where your colours go, but when your colours go they won't come back

    C           G                             C               F
You strip me right, you strip me right out so maybe you would welcome that

    C         G                                       C               F
And I don't know where your colours go, but when your colours go they won't come back

     C          F         Em                        G
They don't come back, and maybe you would welcome that
[Interlude] |C Dm|Am F|C Dm|Am | [Outro]
    C                            F         Am
And I am the colour of an autumn flurry of leaves in a breeze for you

    Dm              Am                   G                C
And I am a study in hues of grey and the blue of a broken day for you
