C                     F            G7sus4
   When the world and I were young   just yesterday
C                  F             G7sus4            G7
   Life was such a simple game a child could play

       C                 G
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Am                Em
Easy then to tell weak from strong
F                    C         Am
   When a man should stand and fight
Dm      Em   F6     G
Or just go a-long

       F         G     C      Am
But to-day there is no day or night
   Dm        G7    C
To-day there is no dark or light
   F         G     Am    G  F
To-day there is no black or white
C              G7sus4   G7
Only shades of grey

C             F                G7sus4
   I remember when the answers seemed so clear
C               F                   G7sus4       G7
   We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear

       C                 G
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Am                 Em
  Selling out from compromise
F                 C      Am
  Who to love and who to hate
    Dm      Em       F6    G
The foolish from the wise

       F         G     C      Am
But to-day there is no day or night
   Dm        G7    C
To-day there is no dark or light
   F         G     Am    G  F
To-day there is no black or white
C              G7sus4
Only shades of grey

       C                 G
It was easy then to know what was fair
Am                  Em
   When to keep and when to share
F                  C         Am
   How much to pro-tect your heart
Dm      Em      F6    G
And how much to care

       F         G     C      Am
But to-day there is no day or night
   Dm        G7    C
To-day there is no dark or light
   F         G     Am    G  F
To-day there is no black or white
C              G7sus4
Only shades of grey
C              G7sus4
Only shades of grey
