Intro
[Am] [G] [C] [F↑]
[Am] [G] [C] [F↑]        

You with the [Am↓] sad [G↓] eyes, [C↓] don't be dis- [F↓] couraged                          
Oh I [Am] realize | ... it's | hard to take [G] courage                    
In a [C] world full of [Dm] people, [Em] you can lose sight [F] of it all              
And the [Am] darkness [G] inside you make you [F] feel so [C] small              

Chorus
But I'll see your [F] true [C] colors [Gsus4] shining through [G]
I'll see your [F] true [C]colors, And [F] that's why I [G] love you
So [F] don't be a- [C] fraid to [F] let them [Am] show
Your [F] true [C] colors, [F] True [C] colors are [Gsus4↓] beautiful,
like a [Am][Riff] Rain- [G] bow  [C]   [F↑]

Show me a [Am] smile [G] then, [C] don't be un- [F] happy,    
can't re- [Am] member when | I... | last saw you [G] laughing    
If [C] this world makes you [Dm] crazy and you've [Em] taken all you [F] can bear
You [Am] call me up, [G] because you [F] know I'll be [C] there    

Chorus
But I'll see your [F] true [C] colors [Gsus4] shining through [G]
I'll see your [F] true [C]colors, And [F] that's why I [G] love you
So [F] don't be a- [C] fraid to [F] let them [Am] show
Your [F] true [C] colors, [F] True [C] colors are [Gsus4↓] beautiful,

[Am] Oooo... [G] oooh... [C] oooh... [F] oh        
[Am] Can't remember | when I | last saw you [G] laughing
[C] If this world makes [Dm] you crazy and you've [Em] taken all you [F] can bear
You [Am] call me up, [G] because you [F] know I'll be [C] there

Chorus
But I'll see your [F] true [C] colors [Gsus4] shining through | [G]
I'll see your [F] true [C] colors, And [F] that's why I [G] love you
So [F] don't be a- [C] fraid to [F] let them [Am] show
Your [F] true [C] colors, [F] True [C] colors,  
Your [F] true [C] colors are [Gsus4] shining through  [G]
I'll see your [F] true [C] colors, And [F] that's why I [G] love you
So [F] don't be a- [C] fraid to [E7] let them [Am] show
Your [F↓] true [C↓] colors, [F↓] True [C↓] colors are [Gsus4↓] beautiful,        
like a Rainbow
[Riff] [Am] [G] [C] [F↑]
