VERSE 1:
             Am  G                  
You with the sad eyes
C        C/E+5                      
Don't be discouraged
     F                                 
Oh I realize
     Am           G
It's hard to take courage
     C             Dm               
In a world full of people
C+5                F                
You can lose sight of it all
        Am       G
And the darkness inside you
F/C              C                   
Make you feel so small

CHORUS:
                  F    C
But I'll see your true colors
Gsus4          G                    
Shining through
              F     C
I'll see your true colors
    F            Gsus4 G
And that's why I love you
   F         C        F        Am
So don't be afraid to let them show
     F/C  C
Your true colors
F/C  C          Gsus4b              
True colors are beautiful,
       Am
Like a Rainbow

VERSE 2:
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

CHORUS
INTERLUDE
VERSE 3:
Oooo....

can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
(sung)
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

FINAL CHORUS:
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I'll see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors,
F/C  C          Gsus4   G
true colors are shining through
              F    Gsus4
I'll see your true colors
    F            Gsus4 G
And that's why I love you
   F        C         F        Am
So don't be afraid to let them show
F/C       C       F/C  C
Your true colors, true colors
Gsus4b
Beautiful,
             Am
Like a Rainbow
