[Verso 1]
 
Em7                      Bm7 
There's a woman in grey, sits alone on the train 
C                       G 
Eyes like storm clouds, heart full of rain 
Em7               Bm7 
Met a boy in red, he moved like fire 
C                   G 
Burnt bridges fast, but lit up the choir 
Em                  Bm7 
Saw a man in black, with gold in his eyes 
C                   G 
He spoke few words, but whispered no lies 
Em7                 Bm7 
And a girl in blue, danced through the street 
C                  G 
Sadness in rhythm, but her smile was sweet 
 


[Refrão]
 
D                   Em 
We all got colours, no mirror can show 
C                  G 
Some shine bright, some barely glow 
Dsus4              Em 
It ain't about the shade 
C 
It's the light that it throws 
Dsus4                D 
You feel their truth in 
D             C 
The way their soul flows, yeah... 
G                D 
Colours, mi bredren 
Em 
Colours, mi sistren 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Em                         Bm7 
Heard a preacher in white, full of pride 
C                         G 
But his eyes were hollow, nothing inside 
Em                    Bm7 
Then a drunk in rust, leaned on my door 
C                   G 
Told me more truth, than a Bible store 
Em                 Gmaj7 
Mi mother's touch, was soft like green 
Cmaj7            G 
Earthy and kind, always kept me clean 
Em                 Gmaj7 
Mi father's laugh, was copper and bold 
Cmaj7            G 
Faded too early, left stories untold 
 


[Ponte]
 
D                   Em 
We all got colours, and stories they paint 
Cmaj7                 G 
Some full of sinners, some carried by saints 
D                   Em 
Some leave a trail, some barely remain 
Cmaj7                   G                D 
But when you feel them, it's always the same 
 


[Refrão]
 
 C                    G 
Colours, not seen  but known 
D                        Em 
The vibes we carry, the seeds we've sown 
        C                           G 
Let your colour speak loud, even when you're alone 
D 
We are colours... not carved in stone 
Em                           C            G 
So paint me with silence, or laughter, or flame 
D                  Em 
Call me by rhythm, not just by name 
C                      G 
And when mi time done, let them say with no shame 
D                 Em 
He was colours... and never the same
