D#                     Gm
I think it’s time that I told you
       F              A#
I’m a fan of your universe
D#               Gm
And every shade that you offer
      F                      A#/D
It’s different but I know it works
D#           Gm
I’m addicted to the magic
          F               A#
And the glow of the city lights
D#        Gm
I felt it in my veins just
         F                 A#/D
didn’t know how to say it right

                D# Gm                   F  A#
She said do you see   me in black and white
       D#  Gm           F           A#/D
Do you need   me every day and night
       D#       Gm                F   A#
I said I don’t wanna dance with another
          D#        Gm                F    A#/D
We could feel this darkness with each other

Chorus:
                               D# Gm F A#
Cause when I look at you I see colors
                         D# Gm F A#/D
When I look at you I see colors

Everyone’s got their own light
Some shine and they fade away
Everyone’s got a story
Those change every single day

She said, “Do you see me in shades of grey?
Do you need me like I need you that way?”
I say, “I don’t wanna lay with another
We could feel this quiet with each other”

Chorus

      D# Gm F A#
I see woo  colors
      D# Gm F A#/D
I see woo  colors

D#         Gm
Every time I look at you lately
F     A#
I see colors they’re changing
D#         Gm
Every time I look at you lately
F     A#/D
I see colors
  D# Gm                    F  A#
I see   you in black and white
  D# Gm              F           A#/D
I see   you in the brightest light

Chorus

                         D# Gm F A#
When I look at you I see woo  colors
      D# Gm F A#/D
I see woo  colors
