Rainbows

G G The day you were born was the best day of your life G From there, you learned to smile through pain and say “it’s a good day,” Em G even if that meant you were lying Em G You’ve been lying every day for a long time Em G You've been painting your possessions a deeper shade of blue Em G Because that's what your mother and your father asked of you C Well they don't like rainbows, do they Am They don't like rainbows, do they Em And they don't like snowflakes, either C Give them a snowstorm, darling Em G Yeah Em G Em G You asked your mother what those words meant to her Em G She never said them, but you knew she meant them Em G She didn’t have tell you, you’re her liability Em G You heard her telling her work friends Em G You tried to be the boy she wished that you were Em G You cut your hair for her, you burnt that dress for her Em G You painted every wall the deepest shade of blue Em G They covered up the rainbow but they still couldn’t hide you C Well they don't like rainbows, do they Am They don't like rainbows, do they Em And they don't like snowflakes, either C Give them a snowstorm darling G C Give them a snowstorm G Understand you have a place on this earth C That is something you can’t afford to forget G Understand you will encounter people C Trying to blame someone else for their own self hatred G You were conditioned to hate yourself C Based on the opinion of everyone else - rethink G Rethink (You are not a label or a liability) C Rethink (You are not a label or a liability) Em D# C You are not a label or a liability Em D# C You are a ray across the sky, don’t forget your strength G Rethink (You are not a label or a liability) C Rethink (You are not a label or a liability) G Rethink (You are not a label or a liability) C (You are not a label) G
