It's not that easy being green
C/B                          Am
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
Em/G                     Dm/F 
When I think it could be nicer 
                          G
being red, or yellow, or gold
                                     C     G    
Or something much more colorful like that

         C
It's not easy being green
C/B                                      Am
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
Em/G                        Dm/F
And people tend to pass you over
                                                           G
'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water 
                C       C7
Or stars in the sky

                F
But green's the color of spring
G                          C               Am
And green can be cool and friendly-like
                 Dm
And green can be big like a mountain
   F
Or important like a river
   G                   Gsus7 G7
Or tall like a tree

              C        
When green is all there is to be
C/B                      Am              
It could make you wonder why
         Am7        Em/G
But why wonder why wonder
Dm/F 
I am green, and it'll do fine
G             Gsus7              C
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be
