[Intro]
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba

       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!

Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba

       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
[Verse 1]
Em          D                      C
Some things were perfectly clear,

              Bm        Em
seen with the vision of youth

Em           D                  C
No doubts and nothing to fear,

              Bm        Em
I claimed the corner on truth

Em         D                   C
These days it's harder to say

            Bm           Em
I know what I'm fighting for

Em         D               C
My faith is falling away

             G
I'm not that sure anymore
[Riff] G C Dsus G G C Em D G [Chorus 1]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey wherever I go

    G      C            D           Em
The more I find out the less that I know

G         C         Em           D
Black and white is how it should be

     G        C            D        E
But shades of grey are the colors I see
[Bridge]
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba

       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!

Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba

       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
[Verse 2]
Em          D                      C
Once there were trenches and walls

         Bm            Em
and one point of every view

Em            D                C
Fight 'til the other man falls

            Bm           Em
Kill him before he kills you

Em        D                       C
These days the edges are blurred,

            Bm       Em
I'm old and tired of war

Em         D                  C
I hear the other man's words

             G
I'm not that sure anymore
[Riff] G C Dsus G G C Em D G [Chorus 2]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey are all that I find

  G    C           D     Em
When I look to the enemy line

G         C            Em       D
Black and white was so easy for me

     G        C            D        E
But shades of grey are the colors I see
[Bridge]
Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba

       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!

Em Cmaj7   D G  C
Ba ba baduwa Ba ba

       D  Bm        Em
Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
[Verse 3]
Em           D               C
Now with the wisdom of years

         Bm            Em
I try to reason things out

Em           D             C
And the only people I fear

              Bm         Em
are those who never have doubts

Em               D              C
Save us all from arrogant men,

            Bm             Em
and all the causes they're for

Em        D                C
I won't be righteous again

             G
I'm not that sure anymore
[Chorus 3]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey are all that I find

    G      C       D     Em
When I look to the enemy line

G              C        Em         D
There ain't no rainbows shining on me

   G      C            D        E
Shades of grey are the colors I see
[Chorus 4]
  G       C        Em     D
Shades of grey wherever I go

    G      C            D           Em
The more I find out the less that I know

G              C        Em         D
There ain't no rainbows shining on me

G         C            D        E
Shades of grey are the colors I see
