Intro: D  D (4x)

verse 1: 

D               D     D                    D 
What's the blues  when you've got the greys? 
D                  D     D                D 
I think I've given up, my body's giving in 
     G        D  G         D  
In a building,  I lie still 
G          D        G     D     
And then I turn back over again 

D  D  x4 

     G       D         G       D 
In a building  that has heating, 
G                          D          D 
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat,   dried-on stains 

Chorus 1: 

     D                                      
I am sick of feeling sick and not throwing up, 
     A 
It's in my stomach and you seem to be stuck 
       D                                              A 
And it won't work its way through my gut and just go away 
  D                                   
I woke up this afternoon and thought maybe today 
    A 
The world might be a more colorful place 
    D                        A 
But no luck, it's still just grey, 
          D 
Come back here

verse 2: (almost the same as verse 1 except at the end) 

What's the blues when you've got the greys? 
Much less productive, and hardship and pain 
In a building, where I lie still 
Just before I turn over again 
In a building that has heating     
                                     A 
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, dried-on stains 

Chorus 2: 

I am sick of feeling sick and not throwing up 
It's in my stomach and you seem to be stuck 
And it wont work its way through my gut and just go away 
I woke up this afternoon and thought maybe today 
The world might be a more colorful place 
And no luck, it's still just grey 
Come back here 

Oh 
What's the blues when you 
When you've got the greys? 
I don't have much of a story to say 
I just sit around at night and avoid the day 
If I do anything at all, it would be to get up 
And avoid conversation and human contact 
You can't touch the world if you can't even feel pain 
You should come back here
