 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
