Look at the stars

Look how they shine for you
                       C
And everything you do,

Yeah, they were all yellow.

I came along,
                  D
I wrote a song for you
                          C
And all the things you do,

And it was called "Yellow."

G                D
So then I took my turn,

                            C
Oh what a thing to have done,
                       G
And it was all yellow.

C
Your skin,

Em       D
Oh yeah, your skin and bones

C      Em           D
Turn into something beautiful,

You know, you know I love you so,
 
You know I love you so.

Oh, what a thing to do

 
'Cause you were all yellow.
G
I drew a line,

                D
I drew a line for you,

Oh, what a thing to do

And it was all yellow.

Your skin,

Oh yeah, your skin and bones

C      Em           D
Turn into something beautiful,

And you know,
Em        D            C
For you I bleed myself dry,

 
For you I bleed myself dry.
