Intro: D Bm Em7 A7
 
D
 The color-coded town,
     Bm
They had one rule no grays allowed,
        Em7
It was a great offense,
A7
  It brought no compliments,

 
D
 a stranger to the town he came,
Bm
 And met a girl that very few would say,
Em7
Is worth thinking of,
A7
 Still he fell in love,
 

D              Gb7            Bm7
And he brought her flowers every day,
        Em7
And she loved them,
                   A7
She loved him she'd never felt that way,
D                        Gb7               Bm7  D7
 But they said hey those flowers they are gray,
                              Em7
They can't stay no, no, well, well,
                    A7                               D
We'll let it slide, but read our signs we don't like grays,
 

D
 Then one day they saw her in a dress,
Bm
 a gift from him it was gray and red,
   Em7
It stopped them in their tracks,
A7
 Ooo, they knew it matched,


D
 a revolution there was shortly found,
Bm
Inside that color-coded town,
Em7
 Same happy, some enraged,
        A7
So they marched on over to the place where,


D              Gb7            Bm7
He brought her flowers every day,
        Em7
And she loved them,
                   A7
She loved him she'd never felt that way,
D                     Gb7              Bm7  D7
 But they cried let's take him to his grave,
                            Em7
He can't stay no, no, well, well,
                        A7
We've done told him once, but now he's done,
 

            Bm7              D7
They cried, We told you stay away,

From that crazy color,
Em7
 Turn around if you don't we'll break you,
A7
 And you don't have anyone to save you,


Bm7                       D7
 He said, She needs me to stay,    
  
Cuz gray can take her sorrow,
Em7
 So I will die tonight so she will know,
A7
 That gray will stay in the color-code, yeah


Em7
 For my love I will die you know,
    A7
But before I do let the record show,
 

C                   Gb7            Bm7
 That I brought her flowers every day,
        Em7
And she loved them,
                  A7
She loved me she'd never felt that way,
D          Gb7                 Bm7  D7
 So if you feel you need some gray,
                    Em7
That's ok child, cuz you know you've just got to ask,
A7
 And I'll come back,


Em7
 You know you've just got to ask,
A7
 And I'll come back, oh
Em7
 You know you've just got to ask,
A7                               D
 And I'll come back to give you grace
