Intro: C Am Dm7 G 

C 
 The color-coded town, 
     Am                     
They had one rule no grays allowed, 
        Dm7     
It was a great offense, 
G7  
  It brought no compliments, 

C  
 A stranger to the town he came, 
Am 
 And met a girl that very few would say, 
Dm7 
Is worth thinking of, 
G7 
 Still he fell in love, 

C              E7            Am7 
And he brought her flowers every day, 
        Dm7 
And she loved them, 
                   G7 
She loved him she'd never felt that way, 
C                        E7               Am7  C7 
 But they said hey those flowers they are gray, 
                              Dm7 
They can't stay no, no, well, well, 
                    G7                               C 
We'll let it slide, but read our signs we don't like grays, 
  
 
C 
 Then one day they saw her in a dress, 
Am 
 A gift from him it was gray and red, 
   Dm7 
It stopped them in their tracks, 
G7 
 Ooo, they knew it matched, 
 
C 
 A revolution there was shortly found, 
Am 
Inside that color-coded town, 
Dm7 
 Same happy, some enraged, 
        G7 
So they marched on over to the place where, 
 
C              E7            Am7 
He brought her flowers every day, 
        Dm7 
And she loved them, 
                   G7 
She loved him she'd never felt that way, 
C                     E7              Am7  C7 
 But they cried let's take him to his grave, 
                            Dm7 
He can't stay no, no, well, well, 
                        G7 
We've done told him once, but now he's done, 

            Am7              C7 
They cried, We told you stay away, 
From that crazy color, 
Dm7 
 Turn around if you don't we'll break you, 
Dm7 
 And you don't have anyone to save you, 
 
Am7                       C7 
 He said, She needs me to stay,       
Cuz gray can take her sorrow, 
Dm7                 
 So I will die tonight so she will know, 
G7 
 That gray will stay in the color-code, yeah 
 
Dm7 
 For my love I will die you know, 
    G7 
But before I do let the record show, 

C                   E7            Am7 
 That I brought her flowers every day, 
        Dm7 
And she loved them, 
                  G7 
She loved me she'd never felt that way, 
C          E7                 Am7  C7 
 So if you feel you need some gray, 
                    Dm7  
That's ok child, cuz you know you've just got to ask, 
G7 
 And I'll come back, 
 
Dm7                              
 You know you've just got to ask, 
G7 
 And I'll come back, oh 
Dm7 
 You know you've just got to ask, 
G7 
 And I'll come back to give you grace
