Chords

[Intro] F# G A7 F D [Verse 1]
         G7                              D
When you walked out of my life, I didn't think that I'd survive

G7                             D
Hope was growing dimmer day by day

    G7                           Bm
But much to my surprise, Lord, I made it out alive

        D               A7            D
And my world is looking anything but gray
[Chorus]
N.C.     D7 G7             D
I came through with flying colors

                   G7                     D
A little black and blue from the wear and tear

         G7              G#dim           D              B7
But love got the best of me and I turn green with jealousy

         E7                                 A7
When you made it crystal clear you did not care

         D G7              D7
I came through with flying colors

            G7                                 D
My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through

         G7               G#dim           D              B7
I should win the Purple Heart 'cause you tore mine all apart

             E7                A7           F      D
But I came through with flying colors after losin' you
[Instrumental] D G#dim A7 F D [Verse 2]
          G7                            D
Yes, I've got a yell'er streak 'cause I know your place is weak

       G7                               D     D7
And I still get pale whenever you're in sight

      G7                           Bm
I may shade out of my mind, oh but I'm not color blind

            D                       A7               D
'Cause I've learned that love ain't only black and white
[Chorus]
N.C.     D7 G7             D
I came through with flying colors

                   G7                     D
A little black and blue from the wear and tear

         G7              G#dim           D              B7
But love got the best of me and I turn green with jealousy

         E7                                 A7
When you made it crystal clear you did not care

         D G7              D7
I came through with flying colors

            G7                                 D
My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through

         G7               G#dim           D              B7
I should win the Purple Heart 'cause you tore mine all apart

             E7                A7           F      D7
But I came through with flying colors after losin' you
[Outro]
             G7               G#dim           D              B7
Oh, I should win the Purple Heart 'cause you tore mine all apart

             E7                A7           F      D   D G#dim A7 F7 D7
But I came through with flying colors after losin' you
