Verse 1:

Em Gmaj7/D [r.h. keyboard voicing: D-F#-G-B]

I'm an ivory tower boy

C G/B

Never quite put down the toys

Am7 D7 G Gsus2/F# [r.h: D-G-A]

I always made the best of them all

Em Gmaj7/D

I see only sunny skies

C G

With the wool over my eyes

Am7 D7 /C B7

I never seem to find the crack or the fault

Chorus:

C D G A

I see it all through rose-coloured glasses

D G G7/B

And I only see what matters to me

C D B7 E7

I see you all through rose-coloured glasses, yeah

Am7 D7

The world that I chose

C/G G

Is coloured [1: rose ]

C/G G /F#

[2: rose (to solo)]

[3: (to coda)]

Verse 2:

It's a funny sort of haze

All full of dreams of yesterdays

And the dreams are so real you could cry

And you know the grass is green

On the side you've never seen

And the thought is what helps you get by

[repeat chorus]

Guitar solo [2X]:

Gm/Bb F/A Fm/Ab C/G

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Gm/Bb F/A Fm/Ab C CG

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 3:

As I grow a little more

And wonder what this all is for

And the brass ring is slipping away

I will keep the glasses near

Maybe shed a quiet tear

Maybe smile inside as I say

[repeat chorus]

[repeat guitar solo; end cold on G]
