Intro = verse chords 
 
Verse1: 
A                                                        C#m 
I'm in a room full of people all hanging on one person's breath. 
G                                                Bm 
We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death, 
      A                                                  C#m 
And I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when 
    G                                                   A 
He aimed for the bulls eye and hit it nine times out of ten. 
 
Verse2: 
Then one time his hand slipped and I saw the dart sail away. 
I don't know where it landed but I'm guessing between green and gray. 
I thought nothing of it, but it still haunts him like a ghost. 
With all eyes upon him except two that matter the most, he says: 

A     B/A    B          D        F#m  D          E 
Green is the color that everyone sees all around me 
A     B/A    B       D          F#m      E            A  
Gray  is the color I see around her, but she's just a blur 
    D              C#m        Bm         A          
The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear  
         F#m                      C# 
And they don't really care what I play 
D            C#m          Bm          E              A 
Might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray.
