ALiving in colour, li-living in colour I can   Dsee you paint your Etoes
ALiving in colour, li-living even in the Dblackout, I Eknow
Verse 1:
AI am floating, I, I am floating with my Deyes closed with no Esails
AI am soaking, I, I am weathered by the Dwinter of mixed Edrinks
AAm I dancing, am, am? Or am I simply Dspinning in my own Egrave
AYou were asking, you, you were asking, within Dtwo-steps, I'm Esaved

Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
(Weak strong bands, weak) I was paler than a pine-box that holds bones
She pulled the iris, she pierced a hole and watched the colour rush forth
Modern Madonna, held my hand in warm hands, with pink nails
(Mark my mouth, mark, mark) Whispered that the sickness will go away
Chorus 3: [use chorus 1 chords]
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes
Living in colour, li-living even in the blackout, I know
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes
Living in colour, li-living even as I blackout, I know
Bridge chords:
AAnd though I dreamt with a rapid Deye, by day I hope to rapidly Adie
And have my organs laid on Dice, wait for somebody that will treat me Aright
And as the night starts swallowDing, you killed the blood to my blue Alip
Forced the life thru still vDeins, filled my hAeart with red again
Chorus 3: [use chorus 1 chords]
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes
Living in colour, li-living even in the blackout, I know
Living in colour, li-living in colour I can see you paint your toes
Living in colour, li-living even as I blackout, I know
