Lyrics

(C)I

(E)try

to (D)live in black and white, but I’m so (A)blue.

(C)I’d

(E)like

to (D)mean it when I say I’m o ver (A)you.

But that’s still not (C)true,

and I’m still so (D)blue.

(A)I thought we were the same,

birds of a feath er.

Now I’m a shamed.

I told you a lie.

Dé so lé, mon a mour.

I’m try ing my best.

Don’t know what’s in store.

O pen up the door in the back of my mind.

I’m still o ver seas, a bird in a cage.

Thought you were made for me.

(C)I

(E)try (I’m not to (D)live in black and white, but I’m so (A)blue.

...but I’m not what you need.) (C)I’d

(E)like

to (D)mean it when I say I’m o ver (A)you.

But that’s still not (C)true,

true,

and I’m still so (D)blue.

I’m true (C)blue, true blue.

I’m true (D)blue.

(C)Ooh, (Hmm.) (E)ooh, (Hmm.) (D)ooh, (Hmm.) (A)ooh.

(Hmm.)

Ah.

You were born (C)blu er than a but ter fly,
