F       Am             Gm       
Another day dawns grey, It's 
       Bb
enough to make my spit
F          Am         Bb        
Still we go on our way, just 
     Gm
putting up with it
C          Dm         C Bb     
And when I try to make my 
             Gm
feelings known to you
F              Am       Bb      
It sounds like you have changed 
     Gm       F
from red to blue


F             Am          Gm    
Well you're a father now, you 
            Bb
see things in different ways
F         Am           
For every parent will, gain 
Bb                        Gm
perspective on their wilder days
C                  Dm         C 
But that alone does not explain,
Bb                   Gm
 the change I see in you
Continues after the ad
F              Am       Bb  Gm 
The way you've drifted off from
        F
 red to blue


Dm   C      Bb         F
Sometimes I think to myself
              Bb         F      
Should I vote red for my class or 
   Bb           F
green for our children?
Dm  C        Bb       F
But whatever choice I make
       Bb
I will not foresake        e

F      Am            Gm         
So you bought it all, the best 
    Bb
your money could buy
F                 Am             
And I watched you sell your soul 
Bb               Gm
for their bright shining lie
C             Dm      C Bb     
Where are the principles of the
                    Gm
 friend I thought I knew?
F           Am       Bb   Gm   
I guess you let them fade from 
       F
red to blue


F          Am         Gm        
I hate the compromises that life
        Bb
 forces us to make
F           Am           Bb     
We must all bend a little if we 
    Gm
are not to break
C                  Dm       C 
But the ideals you opted out 
Bb                         Gm
of, I still hold them to be true
F            Am         Bb     Gm   
   F (hold)
I guess they weren't so firmly held 
by you.
