Colour me in
Trying to figure out the chords for the song, based on the wonderful video from the Box concert, but before I continue, maybe you guys can help me with the lyrics? Here is what I hear (and I hope I didn't miss an already existing thread about the song):
[Capo 3] C Am G C Well, I tried to repress it, then I carried its crown. Am G Am I reached out to undress it. Love let me down. F G Love let me down. C Am G C So I tried to erase it, but the ink bled right through. Am G Am Almost drove myself crazy when these words led to you. Em F And all these useless dreams of living alone G like a dogless bone. C Am G C So come let me love you, Am G Am come let me love you and then F G colour me in. C Am G C Well, I tried to control it and cover it up. Am G Am I reached out to console it. It was never enough. F G Never enough. C Am G C So I tried to forget it, it was all part of the show. Am G Am And so I regret it, but what do I know Em F about all these useless dreams of living alone G like a dogless bone. C Am G C So come let me love you, Am G Am come let me love you and then F G colour me in. C Am G C Come let me love you, Am G Am come let me take this through the end Em F of all these useless dreams I'm living, G Am all these useless dreams Em F and all these useless dreams I'm living G and all these, oh, no... C Am G C Come let me love you, Am G C come let me love you, Am G C come let me love you, Am G C come let me in. Last edited by mattministrator; 10-24-2014 at 04:07 PM. |

I wrote these out last night. I'll compare them to yours after work. I think he forgot the lyrics for the verse above. We'll have to hear it again. It is my favorite of the new album so far.

Last night I tried to write down what I hear, and yes, I think he forgot that verse. Comparing it with the lyrics someone had posted after the secret show in Los Angeles, I think it might be something like this:
i tried to repress it then i carried its crown i reached out to undress it but love let me down love let me down... so i tried to erase it but the ink bled right through almost drove myself crazy when these words led to you and all these useless dreams of living alone like a dogless bone... so come let me love you come let me love you and then... colour me in. well i tried to control it and cover it up i reached out to console it but it was never enough never enough... so i tried to forget it it was all part of the show and so I regret it but what do I know but all these useless dreams of living alone like a dogless bone... so come let me love you come let me love you and then... colour me in. so come let me love you come let me take this through the end of all these useless dreams I'm living... of all these useless dreams... of all these useless dreams I'm living... come let me love you... come let me love you... come let me love you... |

Yeah, I absolutely love this song. The melody is pretty pure Damien and is already an option in my mind for most excited-for track from the album!
