F Dm Am G

[Verse 1]
F
         Dm
Saw them dancing in your eyes
     Am
Like shadows in the night
      G                            F
Doing pirouettes around the stars

        Dm
We were running in a haze
    Am
I remember every shade
       G                      F         Dm
Hit my veins and they shot up sparks


[Pre chorus 1]
                Am
Words fell from your lips
        G                       F
And all I heard was white noise in the dark
    Dm
But when you looked away
    Am                  N.C.
I remembered every shade


[Chorus]
            F
So let your colors run tonight
      Am               G
We're painting in the dark
         F
Let your colors run tonight
    Am              G
The colors of your heart
         F
Let your colors run tonight
      Am               G
We're painting in the dark
         F
Let your colors run tonight
    Am              G
The colors of your heart

[interlude]
F F Am G


[Verse 2]

F
         Dm
Saw your portrait saw your face
          Am
now these fingertips can trace
      G                      F
every curve and every line.

         Dm
Dry your watercolor tears
         Am
while we salvage all the years
       G                        F   Dm
spent alone in black and white


[Pre chorus 2]
                Am
words fall from your lips
          G                F
but all I see is Basquiat
    Dm                      Am                     N.C.
but when you looked away, I remembered every shade


[Chorus]
            F
So let your colors run tonight
      Am               G
We're painting in the dark
         F
Let your colors run tonight
    Am              G
The colors of your heart
         F
Let your colors run tonight
      Am               G
We're painting in the dark
         F
Let your colors run tonight
    Am              G
The colors of your heart
