Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

  the show is over - close the storybook

will be no encore

  and all the random hands that i have shook

  well, they're reaching for the door

  i watch the backs as they leave single-file

  you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

Chorus

  i know i can be colorful

  i know i can be grey

  i know this loser's living fortunate

  cause i know you will love me either way

Verse

most were being good for goodness sake

but you wouldn't pantomime

you are more beautiful when you awake

than most are in a lifetime

through the haze that is my memory

you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

Chorus

i know i can be colorful

i know i can be grey

and i know this loser's living fortunate

and i know you will love me either way

Bridge

look ahead as far as you can see

we live in drama but we die in a comedy

Chorus

i know i can be colorful (when you live in black and white)

i know i can be grey (my colors fade away)

i know this loser's living fortunate

cause i know you will love me either way
