[Verse 1]

I used to live in the darkness

Dress in black, act so heartless

F G

But now I see that colors are everything

Got kaleidoscopes in my hairdo

Got back the stars in my eyes, too

F G

Yeah now I see the magic inside of me

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Yeah maybe my head's fucked up

Dm F

But I'm falling right back in love with being alive

Dreaming in light, light, lights

This kitty cat lost her mind

Dm F

Been lookin' for a star-sent sign that I'll be alright

Look to the skies

[Chorus 1]

I’ve found a rainbow, rainbow, baby, trust me

I know life is scary

But just put those colors on, girl

G C

Come and play along with me tonight

[Verse 2]

I'd forgot how to daydream

So consumed with the wrong things

F G

But in the dark, I realized this life is short

And deep down, I'm still a child

Playful eyes, wide and wild

F G

I can't lose hope, what's left of my heart's still made of gold

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I know that I'm still fucked up

But aren't we all, my love?

F G

Darling, our scars make us who we are, are

So when the winds are howling strong

And you think you can't go on

F G

Hold tight, sweetheart

[Chorus 2]

You’ll find a rainbow, rainbow, baby, trust me

I know life is scary

But just put those colors on, girl

G C

Come and play along with me tonight

You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you, trust me

I know, the ghosts will try to find you

But just put those colors on, girl

G C

Come and paint the world with me tonight

Night, night, night, night, night
