Rose Coloured Glasses Lyrics

"Rose Coloured Glasses"
(Scott McCarl)
Intro (piano):
Verse 1:
r.h. keyboard voicing: ---
I'm an ivory tower boy
Never quite put down the toys
r.h: --
Am7 D7 G Gsus2/F#
I always made the best of them all
I see only sunny skies
With the wool over my eyes
I never seem to find the crack or the fault
Chorus:
I see it all through rose-coloured glasses
And I only see what matters to me
I see you all through rose-coloured glasses, yeah
The world that I chose
1: [
Is coloured rose ]
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 :
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
