I’m sure the chords are right, but it was difficult to plot where there were chord 
changes.  Sorry if the changes are messed up.

Tuning: Half-step down
[Verse 1]
A                 E                 F#m             D
  Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
A                 E
  Green Jealousy, envy waits behind him
F#m               D
  Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
D                         A               Bm
                          *               
  Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
               G
  They quietly understand
      D                    A                   Bm
  The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
                     G
  But wonder why the fight is on
[Chorus]
A            E          F#mG
**                         
  But they're all bold as love
A              E          D/F#
**                        
  Yeah, they're all bold as love
A        E          F#m
**       *          
  They're all bold as love
       D/F#      A   BmD  G
                 **    *  
  Just ask the axis
[Verse 2]
     A        E
              **
  My red is so confident that he flashes
  F#m                            D
  Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
A                  E
  Orange is young, full of daring
F#m                         D
  But very unsteady for the first go around
D                          A
**                         
  My yellow in this case is not so mellow
Bm                               G
  In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
D                               A
**                              
  And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Bm                    G
  Giving my life to a rainbow like you
[Chorus]
A              E      F#mG
**             *         
  But I'm bold, bold as love
A               E          D/F#
**              *          
  Yeah I'm bold, I’m bold as love
A          E          F#m
**         *          
  I'm bold, I’m bold as love
       D/F#     A
                **
  Just ask the axis
Bm             D       G
               **      
  Yeah he knows, he knows everything
[Solo]
[Outro]
C           G       Am   F
  I'm bold, bold as love
C                G           Am   F
  Yeah I'm bold, I’m bold as love
C           G           Am
  I'm bold, I’m bold as love
