Verse 1
(G major) I'm (B minor)
(F major) (A minor) (Asus4) (A minor)
(G major) (B minor) (F major)
(G major) in a room full of people,
hanging on one person's (B minor) breath.
(F major) We would all vote him most
likely to be loved (A minor) to (Asus4) death.
I (G major) hope he still wants it, but it might
remind him of (B minor) when,
he (F major) aimed for the bulls eye and
hit it nine times out of ten. (G major)
That one time his hand slipped,
and I saw the dart sail (B minor) away.
I don't (F major) know where it landed,
but I'm guessing between green (A minor) and (Asus4) gray. (D major) (Asus4) (G major)
We thought nothing of it,
but it still haunts him like (B minor) a ghost.
(G major) With (F major) all eyes upon him,
except two that matter the most. (G major)
Verse 2
He (G major) says (Dsus4) (G major) "Green (A major) is the color
(C major) everyone (E minor) sees (C major) all around (D major) me.
(G major) Gray (A major) is the color I see (C major) around (E minor) her,
and (D major) she's just a blur." (G major)
The (C major) more the crowd cheers,
the less (A minor) I can hear
(G major) and they don't (E minor) really care what I
play. (B minor) (B major) It (C major) might be for her.
But for now (A minor) it's between (G major) green an (C major) d gray.

Interlude 1
(G major) (B minor) (F major)
(A minor) (A major) (A minor) (G major) (B minor) (F major)
(G major)
Verse 3
We (G major) paid and we cheered. Now we're
gone and to us that feels (B minor) right.
But for (F major) him every one of those evenings
turns into (A minor) a night. (Asus4)
With an (G major) other hotel room where
he lays awake to pretend (B minor)
that (F major) he's doing fine with his
notebook and discman for (G major) friends.
Verse 4
He says (G major) "Green (A major) is the color
(C major) everyone sees all around (D major) me.
(G major) Gray (A major) is the color I (C major) see around (E minor)
her, and (D major) she's just a (G major) blur."
(C major) Night after (G major) night what I hear,
(A minor) what I write (G major) fills the (E minor) room
and my head starts (B major) to sway.
It (C major) might be for her,
but for now (A minor) it's between (G major) green
(C major) an d gray.
(G major) (B minor) (F major)
Verse 5
(A minor)
I (G major) want you to love me, he whispers,
unable to (B minor) speak.
And he wonders aloud (F major) why feelings so strong
make the body so (A minor) weak. (A major)
(G major) Then he awoke. Now he's scared
to death somebody (B minor) heard.
(F major) If it was you, and you know her,
please don't say a word.
