Intro: C Am Dm7 G
C
The color-coded town,
Am
They had one rule no grays allowed,
Dm7
It was a great offense,
G7
It brought no compliments,
C
A stranger to the town he came,
Am
And met a girl that very few would say,
Dm7
Is worth thinking of,
G7
Still he fell in love,
C E7 Am7
And he brought her flowers every day,
Dm7
And she loved them,
G7
She loved him she'd never felt that way,
C E7 Am7 C7
But they said hey those flowers they are gray,
Dm7
They can't stay no, no, well, well,
G7 C
We'll let it slide, but read our signs we don't like grays,
C
Then one day they saw her in a dress,
Am
A gift from him it was gray and red,
Dm7
It stopped them in their tracks,
G7
Ooo, they knew it matched,
C
A revolution there was shortly found,
Am
Inside that color-coded town,
Dm7
Same happy, some enraged,
G7
So they marched on over to the place where,
C E7 Am7
He brought her flowers every day,
Dm7
And she loved them,
G7
She loved him she'd never felt that way,
C E7 Am7 C7
But they cried let's take him to his grave,
Dm7
He can't stay no, no, well, well,
G7
We've done told him once, but now he's done,
Am7 C7
They cried, We told you stay away,
From that crazy color,
Dm7
Turn around if you don't we'll break you,
Dm7
And you don't have anyone to save you,
Am7 C7
He said, She needs me to stay,
Cuz gray can take her sorrow,
Dm7
So I will die tonight so she will know,
G7
That gray will stay in the color-code, yeah
Dm7
For my love I will die you know,
G7
But before I do let the record show,
C E7 Am7
That I brought her flowers every day,
Dm7
And she loved them,
G7
She loved me she'd never felt that way,
C E7 Am7 C7
So if you feel you need some gray,
Dm7
That's ok child, cuz you know you've just got to ask,
G7
And I'll come back,
Dm7
You know you've just got to ask,
G7
And I'll come back, oh
Dm7
You know you've just got to ask,
G7
And I'll come back to give you grace
