Chords for Rose Colored Glasses , John Conlee , 1978

_ _ _ I _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ don't know why [Db] I keep on [Eb] believing [Db] you need [Eb] me when you've proved so many times that it ain't true. _
_ _ And I [Ab] can't find one [Db] good reason [Eb] for staying.
_ [Db] Maybe [Eb] my leaving would be the best for you.
[Bbm] _ _ But [Ab] these _ [Db] rose-colored [Eb] glasses _ _ that [Ab] _ _
[Db] I'm looking [Eb] _
through
_ _ [Ab] show _ [Db] only _ [Eb] the beauty, _ _ [Ab] cause they _ [Db] hide all [Eb] the truth.
And _ [Ab] they let me [Db] hold on to [Eb] the good times, [Db] good lines, [Eb] the ones I used to hear when I held you. _
_ _ And [Ab] they keep me [Db] from feeling [Eb] so cheated, [Db] defeated, when [Eb] reflections in your eyes show me a fool. _

_ _ [Ab] show _ [Db] only _ [Eb] the beauty, _ _ [Ab] cause they hide [Db] _ _ [Eb] all the truth.
So _ [Ab] I'll just [Db] keep on hoping, _ [Eb] believing, [Db] that maybe [Eb] by counting the many _ times I've tried
_ _ _ [Ab] you'll believe me [Db] when I say [Eb] I love you [Db] and I'll lay [Eb] these rose-colored glasses _ [Ab] _
aside.
