Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de [Intro] F Am G [Verse]
F       Am
Another day dawn's grey

G              Bb
It's enough to make me spit

F      Am
But we go on our way

Bb           G
Just putting up with it

C        Dm              Bb
And when I try to make my

         Gm
Feelings known to you

    F          Am       Bb           G      F    Am G
You sound like you have changed from red to blue
[Verse 2]
F        Am
You're a father now

G                  Bb
You seen things in different ways

F         Am
For every parent will

Bb                        G
Gain perspective on their wilder days

C              Dm
But that alone does not explain

Bb           Gm
The change I see in you

    F          Am      Bb       G      F    Am G
The way you've drifted off from red to blue
[Bridge]
Dm    Bb    F          G
Sometimes I think to myself

              Bb         F
Should I vote red for my class

   Bb            F
Or green for our children

Dm  Bb       F        G           Bb          C
But whatever choice I make I will not forsake
[Verse 3]
F      Am
So you bought it all

G             Bb
The best your money could buy

F                 Am
And I watched you sell your soul

Bb      G
For the bright shining light

C          Dm
Where are the principles

Bb              Gm
Of the friend I thought I knew

  F          Am      Bb        G      F    Am G
I guess you let them fade from red to blue
[Verse 4]
F          Am
I hate the compromises

G                Bb
That life forces us to make

F           Am
We all must all bend a little

Bb    G
If we are not to break

C             Dm
But the ideas you've opted out of

Bb                   G
I still hold them to be true

  F          Am      Bb        G       F
I guess they weren't so firmly held by you
