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                               F           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 


 
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

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 

 
    G                                C               F 
And 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 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        D 
  So maybe more should be less 
F            Em      Am            D       C        C 
  We're only antique blooms, on an unmade bed 

 
    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
