         E                          A
I do my best to find some kind of glow
A                            C#m
I'm givin' it some heart and soul, now
         G#m           A
From the darkest grays, the sun bursts,
clouds break
                   E
Yeah, we see that fire
                         A
From the streets of Babylon
                 C#m        G#m
To the road that we've been on long
       A
The kaleidoscope claims another

Chorus:
            E                  A
Whoa oh-oh oh This is life in color
A                   C#m
Today feels like no other
         G#m           A
From the darkest grays,
the sun bursts, clouds break
             E                 A
Whoa oh-oh oh This is life in motion
A                        C#m      G#m
And just when I couldn't run this race anymore
A
The sun bursts, clouds break
                 E
This is life in color

You've seen my worst,
yet you see some hope in me
The black and white sets us free,
like the queen to the rook
Your decision is a sure thing
Honey yeah, a sure thing
No wonder I feel like I'm missing a heavy load
But no matter what daylight brings to us,
we all know:

Chorus - x2
