Bm7Bm7 chord      Em7Em7 chord 
I know a girl 
              Asus4Asus4 chord                 DD chord 
She puts the color inside of my world 
Bm7Bm7 chord               Em7Em7 chord 
She's just like a maze 
                  Asus4Asus4 chord                    DD chord 
Where all of the walls all continually change

To stand on the steps with my heart in my hands

Now I’m starting to see 
               Asus4Asus4 chord                DD chord 
Maybe it’s got nothing to do with me

Its the same she’s been standing in
