Intro G G A B C It's one big shade of gray N.C. And the dark kind, I'm afraid to say. verse 1 F C Because there's war, and fighting, and the bad guy often wins G C So you have to find some comfort in the smallest little things F Am There's shouting and there's stealing, there are mortgages to pay D7 G But that's a grown-up thing and you are still a kid today F C The prospects for society are turning for the worst G C The environment is suffering and might not be reversed F Am But at least the nasty kid who makes every day so rough D7 G In the end gets hit by karma which will kinda make you laugh

C Dm E7 Am My life's unraveling just like threads pulled from a sweater C G/B Am G There's no sunshine in my future, it is gray, desaturated Am E7 Am Tell me why I shouldn't feel so deflated Pre-Chorus 2 N.C.
