C                  Em     C                  Em
Life is a colorful thing, life is a colorful thing
     D                    Em                    D  C  Bm  Am
From rainbows to rain and all of the hills in between

G                  Am
Indigo passion and chartreuse motels
D                    Em
Blue mornings after, feelin' like hell
C                D
Big yellow taxi, rusty and gray
C                  D
Comin' to take me away

G                      Am
Blue celebrations with borderline friends
   D                       Em
We go through the motions again and again
C                           D
Sometimes it's just not the way that you dream
    C                  Em
But life is a colorful thing

C                  Em                 C                  Em
Life is a colorful thing, yes, it is, life is a colorful thing
     D                          Em                 D  C  Bm  Am
From nightmares to dreams, from one to the other extreme

  G                       Am
I wrote you a letter that I never sent
   D                    Em
On pale stationery, and here's how it went
 C                  D
"Hello, my darling, how have you been?
C                    D
Why don't we try it again?"

G                  Am
Indigo passion and chartreuse motels
D                    Em
Blue mornings after, feelin' like hell
     C                 D
It's highly ironic and slightly obscene
    C                  D  C
But love is a colorful thing
Bm        Am       G
Love is a colorful thing

       G                    Am
At the end of the tunnel, I know there's a light
    D                       Em
The glimmer of mornin', the twinkle of night
    C                       D
The glow of your smile, the green of your eyes
C                    D
Oh, what a beautiful sight

C                  Em                 C                  Em
Life is a colorful thing, yes, it is, life is a colorful thing
        F                     D                  G
You can say what you will but life is a colorful thing
           F                 D                  G
Yeah, from rainbows to rain, life is a colorful thing
