[C]
[C]You’re a one of a one [G]a one of a kind [Am]
That you only find once in a [F]lifetime [C]
Made to fit like [G]a fingerprint [Am]
A code that clicks open a [F]gold mine


They say [C]one man’s [G]trash is [F]another man’s treasure
When [C]I found [G]you, it was [F]all pitter-patter


[C]Secretly, I hit [G]the lottery
‘Cause [Am]you’re brighter than all of the [F]Northern [C]Lights
You speak to me, [G]even in my dreams
[Am]Wouldn’t let you go for even the [F]highest price


They say [C]one man’s [G]trash is [F]another girl’s treasure
So [C]if it’s up to [G]me, I’m gonna [F]keep, you forever


‘Cause I [C]understand you, we see eye to [G]eye
Like a double [F]rainbow in the sky
And wherever [C]you go, so will [G]I
‘Cause a double [F]rainbow is hard to [G] [F]find [C]


[C]Was a phenomenon when you [G]came along
Yeah, [Am]our chemistry was more than [F]science
It was[C]deafening, loud like [G]lightning, it was [Am]striking
You couldn’t [F]deny it


They say [C]one man’s [G]trash is [F]another man’s treasure
The [C]two of us [G]together, make [F]everything glitter


‘Cause I [C]understand you, we see eye to [G]eye
Like a double [F]rainbow in the sky
And wherever [C]you go, so will [G]I
‘Cause a double [F]rainbow is hard to [G] [F]find


[Am]To the bottom of the sea, I’d [F]go to find you, [Am]ah ah
Climb the highest peak [F]to be right beside you, [Am]ah ah
Every step I [G]take, I’m keeping you in [F] [G]mind


[C] [G] [Am] [F]Oooh ooh ooh
‘Cause I [C]understand you, we see eye to [G]eye
Like a double [F]rainbow in the sky
And wherever [C]you go, so will [G]I
‘Cause a double [F]rainbow is hard to [G] [F]find


It’s hard to [C] [G]find, Oh oh It’s hard to [F]find
Once in a [C]lifetime [G]fa[F]des [Am]out. [G] [C]
