Song: Chasing Rainbows
Album: The Lonely House Attracts The Hearts

This song is in one of the strangest tunings I've ever used.  You need to flatten the G 
F#, B to A, and high e to C# to play this song!  I'll give the chords names to make it easier.

Intro: 

verse:

                                   
"This heart is a frequent flyer now"

Is my favourite excuse
                                       
Those hooks and the lines you always use

Won't keep me around you


Pre-Chorus:

                         
Find the receipt for our memories

Who payed the price to your enemies
                             
Who grovelled back when I had to leave


Chorus:

               
You're chasing rainbows

Cause I took my colours back
               
You're chasing rainbows

For the colours that you lack


Verse:

                                  
Close up I can see your every fault

Stole your concealer
                                   
Don't cry all the girls might wonder why

You're not like the pictures


Pre-Chorus:

                         
Find the receipt for our memories

Who payed the price to your enemies
                             
Who grovelled back when I had to leave


Chorus:

               
You're chasing rainbows

Cause I took my colours back
               
You're chasing rainbows

For the colours that you lack


Bridge: [Note: slide those D# chords downwards then strum]


Don't fade stay a baby blue
                            
You'll get what's coming to you

Don't fade stay a baby blue
                            
You'll get what's coming to you


Break: No chords


Chorus: [Note: now strum these chords faster and stronger]

               
You're chasing rainbows

Cause I took my colours back
               
You're chasing rainbows

For the colours that you lack


Outro: [Note: Hit the F# three times, three times again, then continuously]

               
Chasing rainbows
        
For the colours that you lack
                     
The colours that you lack


[Then end with D# strummed the same as F# was previously]
