[Intro]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Riff]
Em G
Yeah
Em G
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
G
C
Give them a snowstorm
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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)
