C        Em        F                  G
When the world and I were young, just yesterday.
C        Em     F                          G
Life was such a simple game, a child could play.
       C                 G
It was easy then to tell right from wrong.
Am                Em
Easy then to tell weak from strong.
F                 C         Am     Dm      Em  F
When a man should stand and fight, or just go along.

CHORUS:
G     F         G     C      Am
But today there is no day or night.
  F         G     C
Today there is no dark or light.
  F         G     C        F      C              G
Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray.

#2.
C   Em     F                G
I remember when the answers seemed so clear.
C      Bb    F                   G
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.
       C                 G                Am
It was easy then to tell truth from lies..selling out
     Em
from compromise.
F               C      Am        Dm      Em       F
Who to love and who to hate, the foolish from the wise.

CHORUS:
G     F         G     C      Am
But today there is no day or night.
  F         G     C
Today there is no dark or light.
  F         G     C        F      C              G
Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray.

#3.
       C                 G              Am
It was easy then to know what was fair, when to keep
    Em
and when to share.
F           C            Am    Dm      Em      F
How much to protect your heart and how much to care.

CHORUS:
G     F         G     C      Am
But today there is no day or night.
  F         G     C
Today there is no dark or light.

Today there is no black or white, only shades of gray.
