Em                     Dsus2     Bm
  You see the world in black and white
   C         Am     Em
No colour or light
Em                       Dsus2  Bm   
  You think you'll never get it right
           C         Am     Em
But you're wrong you might


Em                         Dsus2   Bm
  The sky could fall could fall on me
    C       Am     Em
The parting of the seas
Em                       Dsus2   Bm
  But you mean more mean more to me
         C            Am   Em
Than any colour I can see


C                         Am                    
  All you ever wanted was love
                           Em
But you never looked hard enough
                             A
It's never gonna give itself up


C                            Am
  And all you ever wanted to be
                       Em
Living in perfect symmetry
                               A
Nothing is as down on Earth as us
   C
as us


Em                     Dsus2     Bm
  You see the world in black and white
    C       Am    Em
Not painted right
Em                   Dsus2   Bm
  You see no meaning to your life
        C    Am   Em
Yes you try
        C    Am   Em
Yes you try


(repeat lead intro)

C                             Am                    
  And all you ever wanted was love
                           Em
But you never looked hard enough
                             A
It's never gonna give itself up


C                            Am
  And all you ever wanted to be
                       Em
Living in perfect symmetry
                           A
Nothing is as down on this Earth

  Don't you want to see it come soon
                           G
Floating in a big white balloon
                 C          A
Or given on your own silver spoon


G                             Em
Don't you want to see it come down
                            G
Careful throwing your arms around
             C          A
Saying not a moment too soon
