Intro
G Csus2 Cadd9 x3
[Verso 1]
G Am
Black and white is what they've come to
D Csus2 Cadd9 G Csus2 Cadd9
The color left her eyes that night
G Am
He left her moonlit tears to see through
D Csus2 Cadd9 G Csus2 Cadd9
He made a point that what he'd done was right
[Pré-Refrão]
G Am C D G Csus2 Cadd9
And as I looked deep into them, I noticed something grey
G Gmaj7sus2/F# Em7 Am
The color of her eyes had left just then
C D G Csus2 Cadd9 G Gsus2 G
Didn't leave with much to say
[Refrão]
C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Love must be something only seen in color
G Csus2 Cadd9 G
I can't recall the last time she saw it in another
Dadd11 Csus2
She doesn't cry when something's sad
Dadd11 Csus2 Cadd9 G Csus2 Cadd9 G Gsus2 G
She wants the feelings she once had to go away
C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Pretending she's got nothing left to give, he didn't take
Em7 N.C.
Pretending I can mend a broken heart I didn't break
D Csus2 Cadd9
Oh, it's too late, I've lost her now
D Csus2 Cadd9 Cadd9 G/B Gsus2/A
What's left of her heart's shaded down with grey
[Verso 2]
G Am
I've tried putting her behind me
D Csus2 Cadd9 G Csus2 Cadd9
Heaven knows how long it's been
G Gmaj7sus2/F# Em7 Am
Watching fade in me what used to be
D Csus2 Cadd9 G Csus2 Cadd9
Dreams of coloring her life again
[Pré-Refrão]
G Am C
Then she asked to meet me late last night
D G Csus2 Cadd9
And her eyes were crystal clear
G Gmaj7sus2/F# Em7 Am
Underneath the movie theater lights
C D G Csus2 Cadd9 G Gsus2 G
She whispered in my ear
[Refrão]
C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Love must be something only seen in color
G Csus2 Cadd9 G
I can't recall the last time you saw it in another
Dadd11 Csus2
You bury your emotions deep
Dadd11 Csus2 Cadd9 G Csus2 Cadd9 G Gsus2 G
Still wanting what you keep inside to go away
C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Pretending you've got nothing left to give she didn't take
Em7 N.C.
Pretending I can mend a broken heart I didn't break, oh
D Csus2 Cadd9
It's too late I've lost you now
D Csus2 Cadd9 Cadd9 G/B Gsus2/A G
What's left of your heart's shaded down with grey
D Csus2 Cadd9
Mm, it's too late I've lost her now
D Csus2 Cadd9 Cadd9 G/B Gsus2/A G
What's left of her heart's shaded down with grey
