*Capo 2*

Intro:G, Bm, F, A, G, Bm, F, G

(Verse 1)
         G             
I'm in a room full of people, 
                        Bm
Hanging on one person's breath.
F
We would all vote him most 
                      A
likely to be loved to death.
  G
I hope he still wants it, but 
                       Bm
It might remind him of when
   F             
He aimed for the bulls eye and 
                         G
Hit it nine times out of ten.
G
That one time his hand slipped, and 
                    Bm
I saw the dart sail away.
        F
I don't know where it landed, but I'm 
                           A
Guessing between green and gray.
     G
Well I thought nothing of it, but 
                           Bm
It still haunts him like a ghost.
     F
With all eyes upon him, 
                           G
Except two that matter the most. 

(Chorus 1)
 G     A                 C    Em       C          D
"Green is the color that everyone sees all around me,
G    A              C   Em              D            G
Gray is the color I see around her, and she's just a blur."
    C              G           D          G  
The more the crowd cheers, the less I can hear
         Em                       B
But they don't really care what I play. 
   C
It might be for her, but for 
D                          C
Now it's between green and gray. 

(Repeat intro)

(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 aroung me,
Grey is the color I see around her, shes 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 its 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 make 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.

Here are the chords WITH the capo on

     These are the full chords you can mute some strings if
you want.  I tried to line up some of the words to the first down beat of
the measures.  It's easy to memorize chords to the verses if you think of
it as just walking down the neck with bar chords.  Tell me
how i did.  Thanks.
