F       Am             Gm              Bb
Another day dawns grey, It's enough to make my spit
F          Am         Bb             Gm
Still we go on our way, just putting up with it
C          Dm         C Bb                  Gm
And when I try to make my feelings known to you
F              Am       Bb           Gm       F
It sounds like you have changed from red to blue


F             Am          Gm                Bb
Well you're a father now, you see things in different ways
F         Am           Bb                        Gm
For every parent will, gain perspective on their wilder days
C                  Dm         C Bb                   Gm
But that alone does not explain, the change I see in you
F              Am       Bb  Gm         F
The way you've drifted off from red to blue


Dm   C      Bb         F
Sometimes I think to myself
              Bb         F         Bb           F
Should I vote red for my class or green for our children?
Dm  C        Bb       F
But whatever choice I make
       Bb
I will not foresake        e   ----------------|

F      Am            Gm             Bb
So you bought it all, the best your money could buy
F                 Am             Bb               Gm
And I watched you sell your soul for their bright shining lie
C             Dm      C Bb                         Gm
Where are the principles of the friend I thought I knew?
F           Am       Bb   Gm          F
I guess you let them fade from red to blue


F          Am         Gm                Bb
I hate the compromises that life forces us to make
F           Am           Bb         Gm
We must all bend a little if we are not to break
C                  Dm       C Bb                         Gm
But the ideals you opted out of, I still hold them to be true
F            Am         Bb     Gm      F (hold)
I guess they weren't so firmly held by you.
