Verse 1:
Em     D           C
Some things were perfectly clear,
       Bm    Em
seen with the vision of youth
Em      D         C
No doubts and nothing to fear,
       Bm    Em
I claimed the corner on truth
Em     D          C
These days it's harder to say
      Bm      Em
I know what I'm fighting for
Em     D        C
My faith is falling away
       G
I'm not that sure anymore

Chorus 1:
 G    C    Em   D
Shades of grey wherever I go
  G   C      D      Em
The more I find out the less that I know
G     C     Em      D
Black and white is how it should be
   G    C      D    E
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Verse 2:
Em     D           C
Once there were trenches and walls
     Bm      Em
and one point of every view
Em      D        C
Fight 'til the other man falls
      Bm      Em
Kill him before he kills you
Em    D            C
These days the edges are blurred,
      Bm    Em
I'm old and tired of war
Em     D         C
I hear the other man's words
       G
I'm not that sure anymore

Riff:
G C Dsus  G

Chorus 2:
 G    C    Em   D
Shades of grey are all that I find
 G  C      D   Em
When I look to the enemy line
G     C      Em    D
Black and white was so easy for me
   G    C      D    E
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Verse 3:
Em      D        C
Now with the wisdom of years
     Bm      Em
I try to reason things out
Em      D       C
And the only people I fear
       Bm     Em
are those who never have doubts
Em        D       C
Save us all from arrogant men,
      Bm       Em
and all the causes they're for
Em    D        C
I won't be righteous again
       G
I'm not that sure anymore

Chorus 3:
 G    C    Em   D
Shades of grey are all that I find
  G   C    D   Em
When I look to the enemy line
G       C    Em     D
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
  G   C      D    E
Shades of grey are the colors I see

Chorus 4:
 G    C    Em   D
Shades of grey wherever I go
  G   C      D      Em
The more I find out the less that I know
G       C    Em     D
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
G     C      D    E
Shades of grey are the colors I see
