Intro same as verse chords



Verse1:
A                                                        C#m
I'm in a room full of people all hanging on one person's breath.
G                                                Bm
We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death,
      A                                                  C#m
And I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when
    G                                                   A
He aimed for the bull?s eye and hit it nine times out of ten.

Verse2:
Then one time his hand slipped and I saw the dart sail away.
I don't know where it landed but I'm guessing between green and gray.
I thought nothing of it, but it still haunts him like a ghost.
With all eyes upon him except two that matter the most, he says:

CHORUS:
A     B                 D        F#m  D          E
Green is the color that everyone sees all around me
A     B              D          F#m      E            A
Gray is the color I see around her, but she's just a blur
    D              C#m        Bm         A
The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear
         F#m                      C#
And they don't really care what I play
D            C#m          Bm          E              A
Might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray.

Verse 2
We paid and we cheered; now we're
Gone and to us that feels right.
But for him every one of those
Evenings turns into a night.
With another hotel room where
He lays awake to pretend
That he's doing fine with his
Notebook and Discman for friends, He says...

Chorus 2
Green is the color that every one sees all around me,
Grey is the color I see around her, she?s just a blur.
Night after night when I hear what I write
Fills the room and my head starts to sway
It might be for her but for
Now it?s between green and grey.

Verse 3
I want you to love me, he
Whispers, unable to speak, and he wonders
Aloud why feelings so
Strong makes the body so weak.
Then he awoke. Now he's
Scared to death somebody heard.
If it was you, and you
Know her, please don't say a word.
