Intro:
Db
Hello! What's wrong?
                Bbm
Ah nothing, no, it's stupid, you wouldn't really- -Nah, you're good man, go ahead-
                          Ebm
Well, it's just that blue-eyed people Get all the good compliments
    Ab 
And I have brown eyes, I don't really get any

Verse:
                   Db
Your eyes are like dirt -dirt?- Hold on, I mean that as a compliment
       Bbm
'Cause dirt's the source of food and life in every single continent
     Ebm
They sparkle like topaz, the stars could never parallel
     Ab                                             Db
They look so sweet like coffee filled with caramel -that's pretty sweet-
                                                   Bbm
And like the autumn leaves that fall from all the trees
                                                       Ebm
The colors in your eyes aren't as loved as they ought to be
                                                      Ab 
The warmth inside of them matches the heart inside of me

It's like it's meant to be -wow-

Bridge:
Db
See? Brown eyes can be beautiful too
         Bbm
It's all about loving truly what was given to you
        Ebm
But I'm sure you wanna know if I can do it, if I'm able
Ab 
What would I say if they were hazel?

Hazel Verse:
                 Db
Your eyes have a little bit of everything -yeah, obviously-
        Bbm
And I'd rather have a jack of all than a master of one
          Ebm
Your eyes hold true surprise, a single color's no fun
         Ab 
They are second to none, and they dance in the sun
            Db
And the one thing I remember about eyes like yours
         Bbm
Is I can go sifting through them every time I'm bored
        Ebm
To find nuggets of gold like in the California rivers
       Ab 
If you ever need a gift, a hazel eye is gon' deliver

Bridge:
Db
Whoa, shivers, Those eyes are winners too
     Bbm
It's almost like your eyes are something unique just to you
      Ebm
But I know your mind is wandering as you become serene
Ab 
What would I say if they were green?

Verse:
                     Db
Your eyes shine like emerald in the light -yeah?- They resemble lovely sights -of?-
Bbm
Fireflies glowing bright and warming up the night -aww-
   Ebm
An attempt to match the vibrance is a fail on every try
     Ab 
With eyes like four-leaf clovers, know that luck is by your side
           Db
'Cause the odds of having eyes with Mother Nature's favorite color
     Bbm
Is a feat that's so rare, you'd be shocked to find another
   Ebm
So whenever you think green is super icky, or it sucks
     Ab 
Just remember that in nature, it's a healthy sign of love

Bridge:
Db
See? Duh, every eye has magic
Bbm
Hidden in the iris that's woven tight like fabric
   Ebm
Of course, you're not convinced yet, you must know what I'd do
Ab 
What would I say if they were blue?

Verse:
                   Db
Your eyes are like diamonds -that's cheesy- You're right, that's easy
    Bbm
And comparing to the sky or ocean waves would feel like cheating
            Ebm
'Cause your eyes are so much more than that, there must be deeper meaning
            Ab 
'Cause your gaze feels like a home I could stay without ever leaving
         Db
They are calm, but bold, warm, but cold
     Bbm
With little flecks of green and maybe little flecks of gold
         Ebm
They are windows to the soul and your soul is something special
          Ab 
See, your eyes are just a glimpse of the beauty inside your vessel

Bridge:
Db
-Wow- And true beauty there is
Bbm
Found outside and from beauty within
              Ebm
And you don't even have to ask how I think I would react
        Ab 
If your eyes were so dark, they looked black

Verse:
                       Db
Your eyes are like the boldest of obsidian -like the rock?-
             Bbm
No! Like the glass from a volcano that could blow you to oblivion
     Ebm
It's like one in a million, now you're basking in the glory
     Ab 
Your eyes are pools of ink that could tell like a thousand stories
     Db
Your eyes aren't empty, that's far from the truth
Bbm
Space looks empty too until you get a better view
    Ebm
The night is in your eyes, the uniVerse is part of you
   Ab 
If only you could see yourself how other people do

Brdige:
Db
Phew! I won't lie, what a crazy journey
Bbm
But it isn't finished yet, there's still a color that's yearning
   Ebm
So join me in this moment, there's no need for more delay
Ab 
What would I say if they were gray?

Verse:
          Db
Your eyes remind me of the moon -no way- It's true!
            Bbm
They're the light inside the dark, can change the tide when they're in view
    Ebm
The dark being the world, the tide being my mood
     Ab 
Your eyes blow me away like hurricanes and monsoons
  Db
I knew the moment that I met your gaze of steel
          Bbm
That your eyes were holding stories that may never be revealed
         Ebm
They are fierce at first, and you may think that's not ideal
      Ab 
But I hope you come to learn the comfort you make others feel

Outro:
Db
   Hooray! I think we're finally done
  Bbm
a simple song for every eye that's shining in the sun
Ebm
Even after this, I'm sure I probably missed a few
      Ab 
But I hope by now we've learned that the beauty's inside of you
