       Em – D – G 
 
Verse: 
             Em  D 
You with the sad eyes 
   G 
Don’t be discouraged 
     C 
Oh I realize 
Em                D 
It’s hard to take courage 
     G             Am 
In a world full of people 
G            C 
You can lose sight of it  
        Em          D 
And the darkness, inside you 
                  G 
Makes you feel so small 
 
Chorus: 
               C    G 
But I see your true colors 
   D 
Shining through 
           C    G 
I see your true colors 
    C            D 
And that’s why I love you 
   C        G          C         Em 
So don’t be afraid to let them show 
     C 
Your true colors 
                D (let ring) 
True colors are beautiful, 
                  Em – D – G – C 
Oooo, like a rainbow 
 
Em – D – G   
 
Verse:

Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember when 
  Em             D 
I last saw you laughing 
   G                    Am 
If this world makes you crazy 
    G                C 
And you’ve taken all you can bear 
     Em      D 
Just call me up 
           G 
’cause you know I’ll be there
