A touch of gray

• B

Intro - B F# B F# C# G# C# G# (X2) 
 
B               F#   B E                  A   E 
Must be getting early, clocks are running late, 
F#                         B    E 
Paint by number morning sky, looks so phony. 
B                F#   B      E             A          E 
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare, 
F#                         B      E 
Draw the curtains, I don't care, 'cause it's alright. 

F# B        E 
I  will get by, 
F# B        E 
I  will get by, 
F# B        A E F# 
I  will bet by, 
          E     A E   B F# B F# 
I will survive.
 
 
I see you got your list out, say your piece and get out, 
Yes I get the gist of it, but it's alright. 
Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say, 
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey. 

C#m              F#      C#m                            F# 
It's a lesson to me, the Abels and the Bakers and the C's 
D#m        A#                C#m                 F# 
The ABC's, we all must face, try to keep a little grace. 
C#m              F#      C#m                          F# 
It's a lesson to me, the delta's and the east and the freeze, 
D#m        A#               C#m                    F#m 
The ABC's, we all think of, try to win a little love
 
 
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years, 
It's even worse than it appears, but, it's alright. 
Cow is givin kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen, 
The words he knows are all obscene, but, it's alright. 
 
Chorus 
 
The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it, 
Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause, it's alright. 
Oh well a touch of grey, kind of suits you anyway, 
That is all I have to say, but, it's alright. 
 
Chorus 
 
Chorus (With "We" instead of "I")
