[G]
[C] When the [F] world and I were young, [G] just yesterday,
[C] Life was such [F] a simple game [C] a child could [G] play.
[Em] It [C] was easy then to [G] tell right from wrong,
[Am] Easy then to tell [Em] weak from strong,
[F] When a man [C] should stand [A] and fight,
[Dm] Or [Em] just [F] go [G] along.
[F] But today [G] there [C] is no day [Am] or night,
[F] Today [G] there is [C] no dark or light,
[F] Today [G] there is [C] no black [F] or [C] white,
Only [G] shade of grey.
[C] I [F] remember when the [G] answers seemed so clear,
We [C] had [F] never lived without [C] or [G] tasted [C] fear.
[G] [C] It was easy then to [G] tell truth from [Am] lies,
Telling [Em] out from compromise,
[F] Who to love [C] and who [Am] to hate,
[Dm] The [Em] foolish from [F] the [G] wise.
[F] But today [G] there is [C] no day [Am] or night,
[F] Today [G] there is [C] no dark or light,
[F] Today [G] there is [C] no [F] black or [C] white,
Only shade [G] of grey.

[C] [F]
[C] [G] [C]
It was easy then to know [G] what was [Am] fair,
When to [Em] keep and when to share,
[F] How much to [C] protect [A] your [Dm] heart,
[E] And how [F] much to care.
[G]
[F] But today [G] there is no [C] day [Am] or night,
[F] Today [G] there is [C] no dark or light,
[F] Today [G] there is [Am] no [F] black or white,
[C] Only shade [G] of grey.
Only [C] shade [G] of grey.
