D Dm9/C D Dm9/C

[Verse 1]
D      Dm9/C                   D
I don't understand about complementary colors
    Dm9/C
And what they say
D                 Dm9/C
Side by side they both get bright
  D                     Dm9/C
Together, they both get gray


[Chorus 1]
    Cadd9                 G
But he's been pretty much yellow
    Cadd9             G
And I've been kind of blue
    Bb
But all I can see is
Asus4     Ab7       G
Red, red, red, red, red
 Bm/F#              Dm/F
Now, what am I gonna do?

D Dm9/C D Dm9/C


[Verse 2]
D       Dm9/C            D
I don't understand about diamonds
    Dm9/C       D
And why men buy them
            Dm9/C            D
What's so impressive about a diamond
          Dm9/C
Except the mining?


[Chorus 2]
Cadd9             G
But it's dangerous work
Cadd9                    G
Trying to get to you, too
                   Bb
And I think if I didn't have to kill
Asus4      Ab7         G                 Bm/F#
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it
        Dm/F
Maybe I wouldn't think so much of you

D Dm9/C D Dm9/C

[Bridge]
Gm Am Bm
       I've been watching all the time
Gm Am Bm
       And I still can't find the tack
Gm Am                       Bm
  But what I wanna know is, is it okay?
      Em
Is it just fine?
Dm
Or is it my fault?
Cm
Is it my lack?

D Dm9/C D Dm9/C

[Verse 3]
D            Dm9/C
I don't understand about
   D               Dm9/C
The weather outside
      D               Dm9/C
Or the harmony in a tune
       D          Dm9/C
Or why somebody lied


[Chorus 3]
Cadd9                G
But there's solace a bit in submitting
       Cadd9                G
To the fitfully, cryptically true
      Bb
What's happened, has happened
       Asus4             Ab7
What's coming is already on its way
       G
With a role for me to play


[Otro]
Bm/F#
And I don't understand
Dm/F
I never understand
Dm/F
But I'll try to understand
Dm/F
There's nothing else I can do
