Green and Gray Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm[Bm]
[F][Am][Asus4][Am]
[G][Bm][F]
[G]in a room full of people,
hanging on one per[Bm]son's breath.
[F]We would all vote him most
likely to be [Am]loved to [Asus4]death.
I [G]hope he still wants it, but it might
remind him [Bm]of when,
[F]he aimed for the bulls eye and
hit it nine times out [G]of ten.
That one time his hand slipped,
and I saw the dart [Bm]sail away.
I don't [F]know where it landed,
but I'm guessing between green [Am]and g[Asus4]ray.[D][Asus4][G]
We thought nothing of it,
but it still haunts him like [Bm]a ghost.
[G]With all[F] eyes upon him,
except two that matter the [G]most.

[Verse 2]
[G]He [Dsus4]says "Gre[G]en is the [A]color
[C]everyone [Em]sees [C]all around [D]me.
[G]Gray [A]is the color I [C]see [Em]around her,
and [D]she's just [G]a blur."
The [C]more the crowd cheers,
[Am]the less I can hear
[G]and they don[Em]'t really care what I
[Bm]play. [B]It mig[C]ht be for her.
But for [Am]now it's b[G]etween green and[C] gray.

[Interlude 1]
[G][Bm][F]
[Am][A][Am][G][Bm][F]
[G]

[Verse 3]
We [G]paid and we cheered. Now we're
gone and to us that [Bm]feels right.
But for [F]him every one of those evenings
turns into [Am]a nig[Asus4]ht.
With an[G]other hotel room where
he lays awake to [Bm]pretend
that [F]he's doing fine with his
notebook and discman for [G]friends.

[Verse 4]
He says [G]"Green [A]is the color
[C]everyone sees all around [D]me.
[G]Gray [A]is the color I [C]see [Em]around
her, and [D]she's just a [G]blur."
[C]Night after [G]night what I hear,
[Am]what I write [G]fills the [Em]room
and my head starts [B]to sway.
It [C]might be for her,
but [Am]for now it's between [G]green
[C]an d gray.
[G][Bm][F]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
I [G]want you to love me, he whispers,
unable [Bm]to speak.
And he wonders [F]aloud why feelings so strong
make the body [Am]so w[A]eak.
[G]Then he awoke. Now he's scared
to death [Bm]somebody heard.
[F]If it was you, and you know her,
please don't say a word.
