But I still can’t Ctell which Dway her mood’s blowing
GThe shades of her D/F#eyes well don’Emt let them fool you Cnow,
Cos naDive is not her middle name
She’s a Gkaleidoscope,
a new shEmade for each new way in which she Cdraws you close
and then Dstumbles on your name
She is a Gbattlefield, except you’re Emfighting with yourself
To keep your Cheart of steel, from Dmelting to the ground

GA moat suD/F#rrounds her Emfortress,
Cher long technicolor hair she dangles Dalmost to the ground,
GSo that my finger D/F#tips always fall Emshort of,
CThe light that glows so sweet and blindly Dguides without a care
She’s a GKaleidoscope, a new Emface for each new day
in which she Cdraws you close and then Dstumbles on your name
She is an Gastronaut dancing Emfreely through the air
Between each Ctelescope that tries to Dcatch her if they dare
DTry to catch her…
COh she comes and then she’s gone,
CTo the eye so kind for the heart so wrong…
COh she comes and then she’s goes…
CTo my eye so kind, but that’s the one thing for Amsure she knows.
Oh kaGleidoscope,
a new shEmade for each new way in which she Cdraws me close
and then you Dstumble on my name
You are a Gbattlefield, leaves me Emfighting with myself
To keep my Cheart of steel, from Dmelting to the ground
She Emis an Coooh oooh... KaleidosGcopD/F#eEm  
She is an Cahhh ooCmoo... Kaleidoscope

G Em D/F# C D Cm Am

G Em

She hangs wind chimes from her ears

C D

But I still can’t tell which way her mood’s blowing

G D/F# Em C

The shades of her eyes well don’t let them fool you now,

Cos naive is not her middle name

She’s a kaleidoscope,

Em C

a new shade for each new way in which she draws you close

and then stumbles on your name

G Em

She is a battlefield, except you’re fighting with yourself

C D

To keep your heart of steel, from melting to the ground

Em C G D/F# Em

She is an oooh oooh... Kaleidoscope

C Cm

She is an ahhh oooo... Kaleidoscope

G Em C

------

G D/F# Em

A moat surrounds her fortress,

C D

her long technicolor hair she dangles almost to the ground,

G D/F# Em

So that my finger tips always fall short of,

C D

The light that glows so sweet and blindly guides without a care

G Em

She’s a Kaleidoscope, a new face for each new day

C D

in which she draws you close and then stumbles on your name

G Em

She is an astronaut dancing freely through the air

C D

Between each telescope that tries to catch her if they dare

Try to catch her…

Oh she comes and then she’s gone,

To the eye so kind for the heart so wrong…

Oh she comes and then she’s goes…

C Am

To my eye so kind, but that’s the one thing for sure she knows.

Oh kaleidoscope,

Em C

a new shade for each new way in which she draws me close

and then you stumble on my name

G Em

You are a battlefield, leaves me fighting with myself

C D

To keep my heart of steel, from melting to the ground

Em C G D/F# Em

She is an oooh oooh... Kaleidoscope

C Cm

She is an ahhh oooo... Kaleidoscope

C Em D/F# G
