[Verse]
AYears ago back when I was a Asus2teacher
I was Ateaching my class about C#m7light
F#m7Infrared on the left of the Bspectrum
Through to Bm7ultraviolet on the ErightG  
I Ashowed them the primary Asus2colours
And drew Acircles of blue green and C#m7red
I F#mexplained that each colour had B7its own wavelength
And the Bm7pupils wrote Edown what I Asaid.
While the Fclass settled down to their Chomework
One Fcurious boy raised his Chand
He looked Ftroubled with eyes open Cwide so I asked
Is there B7something you don't Eunderstand?E7  
[Chorus]
Does that Cmean there aren't any more Amcolours?
Does that Cmean that I've seen every Amone?
I'd hoped Bb9one day to find shades that Dmjust blew my mind
But I'll Bb9never have that kind of G7fun
If there Creally aren't any more Amcolours
And there'll Cnever be new ones to E7see
All this Dmtime it would seem it was pointless to dream
And the G7world seems less colourful to Cme.E  
[Verse]
AWell I just didn't know what to Asus2tell him
As he Astared at me expectantC#m7ly
Did he F#m7know that I felt just the Bsame way as him
The day Bm7my science teacher told Eme?G  
[Solo] x4
F#m7 Emaj9
[Chorus]
It's not Ctrue that there are no more Amcolours
It's not Ctrue that you've seen every Amshade
All the Bb9reds and the greens and the Dmvast in betweens
Can be Bb9blended in endless new G7ways
There's an Cinfinite number of Amcolours
That can Cshock and delight and E7surprise
You can Dmhave any shade when you know how it's made
And it's G7only a trick of the Ceyes.

[Verse]

A Asus2

Years ago back when I was a teacher

A C#m7

I was teaching my class about light

F#m7 B

Infrared on the left of the spectrum

Bm7 E G

Through to ultraviolet on the right

A Asus2

I showed them the primary colours

A C#m7

And drew circles of blue green and red

F#m B7

I explained that each colour had its own wavelength

Bm7 E A

And the pupils wrote down what I said.

F C

While the class settled down to their homework

F C

One curious boy raised his hand

F C

He looked troubled with eyes open wide so I asked

B7 E E7

Is there something you don't understand?

[Chorus]

C Am

Does that mean there aren't any more colours?

C Am

Does that mean that I've seen every one?

Bb9 Dm

I'd hoped one day to find shades that just blew my mind

Bb9 G7

But I'll never have that kind of fun

C Am

If there really aren't any more colours

C E7

And there'll never be new ones to see

All this time it would seem it was pointless to dream

G7 C E

And the world seems less colourful to me.

[Verse]

A Asus2

Well I just didn't know what to tell him

A C#m7

As he stared at me expectantly

F#m7 B

Did he know that I felt just the same way as him

Bm7 E G

The day my science teacher told me?

[Solo] x4

F#m7 Emaj9

[Chorus]

C Am

It's not true that there are no more colours

C Am

It's not true that you've seen every shade

Bb9 Dm

All the reds and the greens and the vast in betweens

Bb9 G7

Can be blended in endless new ways

C Am

There's an infinite number of colours

C E7

That can shock and delight and surprise

You can have any shade when you know how it's made

G7 C

And it's only a trick of the eyes.
