        [C]/  /  [C]/ [G] /   [C]/  /  [C]/ [G] /  [Bb] /  / [Bb] / [F] /   [G]/  /  [F#]/  /

                [Em]       [Gmaj7]/[D]  [r.[B]. keyboard voicing: [D]-[F#]-[G]-[B]]
        I'm an ivory tower boy
        Never qu[C]ite put down the [G/B]toys
          [Am7]              [D7]           [G]   [Gsus2]/[F#]  [r.[B]: [D]-[G]-[A]]
        I always made the best of them all
        I see o[Em]nly sunny[Gmaj7] skies[D]
        With the w[C]ool over my e[G]yes
        I never [Am7]seem to find the c[D7]rack o[C]r the f[B7]ault

        I s[C]ee it all through r[D]ose-coloured gl[G]asses  [A]
        And I only s[D]ee what matters to [G]me  [G7/B]
        I s[C]ee you all through r[D]ose-coloured glas[B7]ses, y[E7]eah
        The world that I c[Am7]hose  [D7]
        Is coloured [1: [C/G]rose [G]  ]
                    [2: [C/G]rose [G]   [F#]   (to solo)]
                    [3: (to coda)]
        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]/ / [C]/[G] /

        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]
