C                  Am               G           C
Well, I tried to repress it, then I carried its crown. 
                 Am          G           Am
I reached out to undress it. Love let me down. 
            F         G
Love let me down. 

C              Am               G              C
So I tried to erase it, but the ink bled right through. 
                    Am               G            Am
Almost drove myself crazy when these words led to you. 
              Em                F
And all these useless dreams of living alone 
       G
like a dogless bone. 

C              Am   G     C
So come let me love you, 
            Am   G       Am
come let me love you and then 
          F     G
colour me in. 

C                    Am         G        C
Well, I tried to control it and cover it up. 
                    Am              G      Am
I reached out to console it. It was never enough. 
       F          G
Never enough. 

C                Am             G               C
So I tried to forget it, it was all part of the show. 
           Am           G         Am
And so I regret it, but what do I know 
               Em                F
with all these useless dreams of living alone 
       G
like a dogless bone. 

C              Am   G     C
So come let me love you, 
            Am   G       Am
come let me love you and then 
          F    G
colour me in. 

C           Am   G      C
Come let me love you, 
            Am   G                Am
come let me take this through the end 
             Em                 F
of all these useless dreams I'm living, 
          G                Am
all these useless dreams 
              Em                 F
and all these useless dreams I'm living 
               G
and all these, oh, no... 

C           Am   G      C
Come let me love you, 
            Am   G      C
come let me love you, 
            Am   G       C
come let me love you, 
            Am  G       C
come let me in.
