Shades Of Grey Lyrics & Chords By Billy Joel

Some things were perfectly clear
Seen with the vision of youth
No doubts and nothing to fear
I claimed the corner on truth

These days it's harder to say
I know what I'm fighting for
My faith is falling away
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Once there were trenches and walls
And one point of every view
Fight till the other man falls
Kill him before he kills you

These days the edges are blurred
I'm old and tired of war
I hear the other man's words
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey are all that I find
When I look to the enemy line
Black and white was so easy for me
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Now with the wisdom of years
I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear
Are those who never have doubts

Save us all from arrogant men
And all the causes they're for
I won't be righteous again
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey are all that I find
When I look to they enemy line
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colours I see

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colors I see
