Tom : Am
Am
We painted our faces
Em7
we were at resting place in from the light
G E
I must admit on that resting site
Am
we looked alright
Am
But now it's just traces
Em7
As we fade in black and white
G E
We put make up on with no light
Am
We're too uptight
[Refrão]
~Chorus x2~
F
Color me this way
Am
Color me that way
Em7
Color me inside out
G
Color me upside down
[ F Am Em7 F Am G ]
~Verse~
Am
To show my true colors
Em7
I must first be exposed to the light
G E
I transverse in secondly fight
Am
With all my might
Am
I've blown my cover
Em7
in plain view I'm as plain as you
G E
But you can't deny my hues
Am
Red blue chartreuse
[Refrão] (repetir)
