D/F#             Dm9               D/F#
    I don't understand about complementary colors
    Dm9
And what they say
D/F#                  Dm9
    Side by side they both get bright
  D/F#                 Dm9
Together they both get gray

D               Bm
  But he's been pretty much yellow
    D               Bm
And I've been kinda blue
    Bb
But all I can see is
A         G         F#4
Red, red, red, red, red now
F                 D/F#    Dm9     D/F#    Dm9 
  What am I gonna do


[SAME CHORDS]

I don't understand about
Diamonds and why men buy them
What's so impressive about a diamond
Except the mining

And it's dangerous work
Trying to get to you too
And I think if I didn't have to
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it
Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you


Bb    C     D                             Bb       C 
               I've been watching all the time
D                              Bb 
    And I still can't find the tack
C                    D
 And I wanna know is, is it okay Is it just fine
F(hold)
        Or is it my fault
E(hold)
        Is it my lack

[SAME CHORDS AS VERSE 1]

I don't understand about
The weather outside
Or the harmony in a tune
Or why somebody lied

There's solace a bit for submitting
To the fitfully cryptically true
What's happened has happened
What's coming is already on its way
With a role for me to play

I don't understand
I'll never understand
But I'll try to understand
There's nothing else I can do
