   Verse:
      A5        A4                D4     D  
       the show is over - close the storybook
A5 A4            D4  D 
       will be no encore
      A5         A4               D4     D 
       and all the random hands that i have shook
                    A5 A4         D4    D 
       well, they're reaching for the door
       F                                G
       i watch the backs as they leave single-file
       F                              G 
       you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

   Chorus:
     A5  A4           D4   D
       i know i can be colorful
     A5  A4          D4  D 
       i know i can be grey
     A5        A4                D4    D
       i know this loser's living fortunate
             F                 G 
       cause i know you will love me either way

Verse:

most were being good for goodness sake
but you wouldn't pantomime
you are more beautiful when you awake
than most are in a lifetime
through the haze that is my memory
you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

Chorus:

i know i can be colorful
i know i can be grey
and i know this loser's living fortunate
and i know you will love me either way

Bridge:
F                     G
look ahead as far as you can see
F                     G
we live in drama but we die in a comedy

Chorus:

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
cause i know you will love me either way
