Verse 1
A
C#m
I'm
G
Bm
Bsus4
Bm
A
C#m
G
A
in a room full of people,
C#m
hanging on one per son's breath.
G
We would all vote him most
Bm
Bsus4
likely to be loved to death.
A
I hope he still wants it, but it might
C#m
remind him of when,
G
he aimed for the bulls eye and
A
hit it nine times out of ten.
That one time his hand slipped,
C#m
and I saw the dart sail away.
G
I don't know where it landed,
Bm
Bsus4
E
Bsus4
A
but I'm guessing between green and gray.
We thought nothing of it,
C#m
but it still haunts him like a ghost.
A
G
With all eyes upon him,
A
except two that matter the most.
Verse 2
A
Esus4
A
B
He says "Green is the color
D
F#m
D
E
everyone sees all around me.
A
B
D
F#m
Gray is the color I see around her,
E
A
and she's just a blur."
D
The more the crowd cheers,
Bm
the less I can hear
A
F#m
and they don't really care what I
C#m
C#
D
play. It might be for her.
Bm
A
D
But for now it's between green an d gray.

Verse 3
A
We paid and we cheered. Now we're
C#m
gone and to us that feels right.
G
But for him every one of those evenings
Bm
Bsus4
turns into a night.
A
With an other hotel room where
C#m
he lays awake to pretend
G
that he's doing fine with his
A
notebook and discman for friends.
Verse 4
A
B
He says "Green is the color
D
E
everyone sees all around me.
A
B
D
F#m
Gray is the color I see around
E
A
her, and she's just a blur."
D
A
Night after night what I hear,
Bm
A
F#m
what I write fills the room
C#
and my head starts to sway.
D
It might be for her,
Bm
A
but for now it's between green
D
an d gray.
A
C#m
G
Verse 5
Bm
A
I want you to love me, he whispers,
C#m
unable to speak.
G
And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong
Bm
B
make the body so weak.
A
Then he awoke. Now he's scared
C#m
to death somebody heard.
G
If it was you, and you know her,
please don't say a word.
