I have weapons and battle plans    But in my heart I know I can't ever protect you    From things I don't understand       And when I hold you in my arms    It scares me just to think    That something so beautiful    Could come apart in my hands       I've always been chasing rainbows    Staring out of classroom windows    I dont think I'll ever be    Happy unless I'm unhappy    And hugging my grudge    Oh       I was too dumb to settle down    So i packed up and I left town    On the sunshine bus    Wondering where it all went wrong       On a flimsy winged aeroplane    I followed my heart everywhere    Until I ended up back    Where I started from       Ive always been quietly dreaming    I dont know when I've been beaten    I dont think I'll ever be    Happy unless I'm unhappy    And hugging my grudge    Oh       I've always been chasing rainbows    Staring out of classroom windows    I dont think I'll ever be    Happy unless I'm unhappy    And hugging my grudge    Oh       I've always been quietly dreaming    I dont know when I've been beaten    I dont think I'll ever be    Happy unless I'm unhappy    And hugging my grudge    Oh
