VERSE I:

Am                  G
WHEN WE FIRST CAME HERE,
        F                G
WE WERE COLD AND WE WERE CLEAR, 
        Dm              F
WITH NO COLOURS ON OUR SKIN, 
        Dm              E
WE WERE LIGHT AND PAPER THIN. 

    Am                 G    
AND WHEN WE FIRST CAME HERE, 
        F                G
WE WERE COLD AND WE WERE CLEAR, 
        Dm             F       
WITH NO COLOURS ON OUR SKIN, 
          Dm               E
'TILL YOU LET THE SPECTRUM IN.
