INTRO: ( A4 A D6 D )

( A4 A D6 D )
the show is over - close the storybook

will be no encore

and all the random hands that i have shook

well, they're reaching for the door
( F G )
i watch the backs as they leave single-file

you stood stubborn, cheering all the while
( A4 A D6 D )
i know i can be colorful

i know i can be grey

i know this loser's living fortunate
      F                G                A
cause i know you will love me either way
( A4 A D6 D )
most were being good for goodness sake

but you wouldn't pantomine

you are more beautiful when you awake

than most are in a lifetime
( F G )
through the haze that is my memory

you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy
( A4 A D6 D )
i know i can be colorful

i know i can be grey

i know this loser's living fortunate
      F                G                A
cause i know you will love me either way
( F G )
look ahead as far as you can see

we live in drama but we die in a comedy
( E A )
i know i can be colorful (when you live in black and white)

i know i can be grey (my colors fade away)

i know this loser's living fortunate
      C                D                E
cause i know you will love me either way
