[C#m]
[G]
[A]
I'm in a room full [E] of people hanging on one [C#m] person's breath
[G] We would all vote him most likely to be [F#] loved to death
[A] I hope he still wants it but it might remind [C#m] him of when
[D] He aimed for the bull's eye and hit it nine times out [A] of ten
That one time his hand slipped and I saw the dart [C#m] sail away
[C#m]
I [D] don't know where it landed but I'm guessing between [F#] green and grey
I [E] thought nothing of it but it still haunts him [A] like a ghost
[E] With all eyes upon him except to the matter [A] the most
He says, green [F#] is the colour [B] that everyone [B] sees all [E] around me
Grey [B] is the colour I [A] see [F#] about [E] her, [A] she's just a blur
The [D] more the [A] crowd cheers [B] the less I can [A] hear and they [F#m] don't really care when I [C#] play
[D] It might be for [B] her but for now it's [A] between green [D] and grey

[A]
We paid [E] and we cheered now we're gone and to us that feels right
[C#m] [E] But for [D] him every one of those evenings turns into [F#] a night
[A] With another hotel room where he lays awake to [C#m] pretend
[G] That he's doing fine with his notebook and desk [A] made for friends
He says, green [B] is the colour [D] that everyone sees all [E] around me
Grey is the colour I see [F#]
around [E] her, she's just a [A] blur
[D] Night after [A] night [F#] while I hear [A] what I write fills the room [F#m] and my head [C#] starts to sway
It might be [A] for her but [B] for now it's between green and grey
I
[A]
[C#m]
[G]
[A] want you to love me, he whispers unable to [C#m] speak
And he [D] wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body [B] so weak
[A] Then he awoke now he's scared to death [C#m] somebody hurt
[G] If it was you and you know her please don't say a word
