INTRO: Am    E    (4X)

  Am                        E
If I told you he was your brother
  Am                                E
We could reminisce then you would go about your day
  Am                       E
If I said you ought to give him some of your water
        Am                          E
You'd shake your canteen and walk away.

       F                                C   G    F
The perception that divides you from him is a lie
            C          G           F
For some reason you never asked why
           C                G      F
This is not a black and white world
             C           G             Bb
You can't afford to believe in your side

           Am                    Dm
This is not a black and white world
          Am                         E
To be alive I say the colors must swirl
          Am                 Dm
And I believe that maybe today
          C                G
We will all get to appreciate
                 Am      E       Am       E
The beauty of gray

  Am                     E
If I told you she was your mother
  Am                          E
We could analyze the situation and be gone
  Am                         E
If I said you ought to give her some of your water
  Am                                 E
Your eyes would light up like the dawn

        F                               C   G    F
The perception that divides you from her is a lie
             C         G           F
For some reason you never asked why
           C                G     F
This is not a black and white world
             C             G           Bb
You can't afford to believe in your side

          Am                     Dm
This is not a black and white world
          Am                          E
To be alive I say the colors must swirl
          Am                Dm
And I believe that maybe today
           C               G
We will all get to appreciate
           C               G
We will all get to appreciate

                  Am    Dm                  C    G
The beauty of gray        The beauty of gray
                  Am    Dm                  C    G
The beauty of gray        The beauty of gray
