Intro: Dmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bm7 Bbmaj7

Verse 1:
Dmaj7                 Dbmaj7 Cmaj7                      A6 Aaug 
a Certain Shade of Green, tell me is that what you need?
Dmaj7                       Dbmaj7 Cmaj7
All signs around say move ahead,  could someone please explain to me
        A6        Aaug 
  your ever present lack of speed
Dmaj7                            Dbmaj7
Are your muscles bound by ropes?
Cmaj7                         A6 Aaug 
Or do crutches cloud your day?
Dmaj7                             Dbmaj7
My sources say the road is clear. 
Cmaj7                          A6 Aaug 
And street signs point the way.

Chorus:
Dmaj7                    Ebmaj7 Dmaj7
Are you gonna wait around till 2012 a.d.
Bm7                       Bbmaj7
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?
Dmaj7                  Ebmaj7  Dmaj7
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate
Bm7                       Bbmaj7
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?

Verse 2 (same as first verse):
Would a written invitation
Signed, Choose now or lose it all
Sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make you stall?

You've been raised in limitation
But that glove never fit quite right
The time has passed for hand-me-downs
Choose anew, please evolve
Take flight

Chorus:
Dmaj7                    Ebmaj7 Dmaj7
Are you gonna wait around till 2012 a.d.
Bm7                       Bbmaj7
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?
Dmaj7                  Ebmaj7  Dmaj7
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate
Bm7                       Bbmaj7
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?
