Key: Bm



|Bm  G A D/F#|G A D/F#G|

                 

Intro 4 times







    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

Oh, look at how she listens

She says nothing of what she thinks

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

She just goes stumbling through her memories,

Staring out on to Grey  Street



    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

But she thinks, "Hey,

How did I come to this?

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

I dream myself a thousand times  around  the world,

But I can't get out of this place."





              Bm       A/C#

Oh there's an emptiness inside her

               D                 G

And, she'll do anything to fill it in

            Bm        A

But all the colors mix together

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

To grey!

And it breaks her heart





    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

How she wishes it was different

She prays to God most every night

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

And though she swears He doesn't listen

There's still a hope in her He might



    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

She says, "I pray

But they fall on deaf ears,

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

Am I supposed to take it on myself?

To get out of this place  (yeah)







                   Bm        A/C#

Oh there's  loneliness inside her

             D                  G

And she'd do anything to fill it in

                Bm                A/C#

And though it's red blood bleeding from her now

              D               G

It feels like cold blue ice in her heart

             Bm             A

When all the colors mix together

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

to Grey!

And it breaks her heart





    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

There's a stranger speaking outside her door

Says take what you can from your dreams

Make them as real as anything

It'd take the work out of the courage



    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

But she says, "Please

There's a   crazy man that's creeping outside my door,

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

I live on the corner of Grey Street

and the end of the world!"







              Bm         A/C#

Oh there's an emptiness inside her

             D                  G

And she'd do anything to fill it in

                Bm                A/C#

And though it's red blood bleeding from her now

               D               G

It's more like cold blue ice in her heart





               Bm                 A/C#

She feels like kicking out all the windows

            D           G

And setting fire to this life

                 Bm           A/C#

She could change everything about her,

      D              G

using colors bold and bright

            Bm           A

But all the colors mix together

    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

to Grey!



Bass/Drums Dop Out



    Bm     G     A     D/F#      G    A    D/F#      G

And it breaks her heart

And it breaks her heart

Ad lib and outro
