[I found this was easiest for me when I kept finger 3 on my e string - but I am still
and the finger positioning still felt a little awkward for me in the end]


Verse 1: (begin with strumming the guitar)

Am C
You with the sad eyes
Em F
don't be discouraged
Am C
oh I realize
F G
it's hard to take courage (you can pick it up here)
Am C
in a world full of people
Em F
you can lose sight of it all
Am C
and the darkness inside you
F G
can make you feel so small


Chorus:
F C
But I see your true colors
G
shining through
F C
I see your true colors
F G
and that's why I love you
Am C Em F
so don't be afraid to let them show
Am C
your true colors
Am C G (strum once)
true colors are beautiful


like a rainbow....

Verse 2:
Am C
Show me a smile then
Em F Am
don't be unhappy, can't remember
C F G
when I last saw you laughing
Am C
if this world makes you crazy
Em F
and you've taken all you can bear
Am C
you call me up
F G
because you know I'll be there

Chorus:
F C
But I see your true colors
G
shining through
F C
I see your true colors
F G
and that's why I love you
Am C G F
so don't be afraid to let them show
Am C
your true colors
Am C G (strum once)
true colors are beautiful
