Rainbow Scars by Chris Robson
[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse]
C Am C Am
There you are again, hiding with your friends,
C Am F G
Listening to the same old stories, just with different ends.
C Am C Am
Then you stare at me, with eyes that cannot see,
C Am F G
What you’re slowly turning into and do I hold the key.
[Chorus]
C E
If you show me your rainbow scars,
F Fm
Spend a night with me under the stars,
C Am G G7
And think about the place you want to be.
C E
Show me how it feels,
F Fm
Tell me when the wheels stop turning,
C G C
And I will come to you to set you free.
[Verse]
C Am C Am
Now you’re losing hope, thoughts have turned to rope,
C Am F G
So you start to cry for clarity trying hard to cope.
C Am C Am
With all that life can bring, you want your heart to sing,
C Am F G
I know that you can hear the harmonies that my world can bring.
[Chorus]
C E
If you show me your rainbow scars,
F Fm
Spend a night with me under the stars,
C Am G G7
And think about the place you want to be.
C E
Show me how it feels,
F Fm
Tell me when the wheels stop turning,
C G C
And I will come to you to set you free.
[Refrain]
Gm Dm
And if you think you've had a taster of what is on the other side,
Gm Dm A7
Then I think you must be taking the whole world for a ride.
[Verse]
C Am C Am
So if you close your eyes, to all that you despise,
C Am F G
Sink into the slow serenity as you start to rise,
C Am C Am
When it’s time to reap, and you’ll be fast asleep,
C Am F G
No-one will hear me coming and you’ll be mine to keep.
[Chorus]
C E
If you show me your rainbow scars,
F Fm
Spend a night with me under the stars,
C Am G G7
And think about the place you want to be.
C E
Show me how it feels,
F Fm
Tell me when the wheels stop turning,
C G C
And I will come to you to set you free.
C G C
Yes I will come to you to set you free.
[Refrain]
Gm Dm
Up above the streets and houses, the sky is cold and grey,
Gm Dm A7
Paint the whole world with a rainbow, I still won’t go away.
