[Intro]
(pluck strings)
F C F C Am F G
Am F G C
[Verse 1]
Am C
The colours of your wings, they were faded
F C F
And hung by the sides of your jeans in this shadow
G Am F G C
The story untold of a girl who'd forgotten her dreams
F C
The words on your lips they sat so neatly
F C F
Spoke with a perfect restraint in their record
G Am F G
A longing unfolds of a voice that was never heard
F C
So I listened to every word
[Chorus]
Am F
Now I will never leave
C
Despite these words
G
And all of the tides around us
Am C F
So you can spread your wings
C
And all of your colours
G F
Will light up the skies above us, oh
C F
And all of your colours
C G
Will light up the skies
[Verse 2]
F C
Collect your thoughts and your things
F C G
We'll be gone by the light of the morning
Am F C G
So don't you ever give up, 'cause I will never give in
Am F G
Where there's hope there is strength to begin
[Chorus]
Am F
I will never leave
C
Despite these words
G
And all of the tides around us
Am F
So you can spread your wings
C
And all of your colours
G F
Will light up the skies above us, oh
C F
And all of your colours
C F C
And all of your colours
G C G
Will light up the skies
[Instrumental]
F C F C F Em Am F G C
[Verse 3]
F
The colours of your wings
C
They were jaded
Am C
The hour lie your greener grass, girl
F
So I bought you a brush
G Am
and I stood back to watch
F G C
A woman then color her world
[Outro]
Am F
I will never leave
C
Despite these words
G
And all of the tides around us
Am F
So you can spread your wings
C
And all of your colours
G F
Will light up the skies above us, oh
C F
And all of your colours
C F
And all of your colours
C G
Will light up the sky
G C
Will light up the sky
