[Verse 1]
Dmaj7(2) C#maj7   Cmaj7   A6Aaug5
A Certain Shade of Green, tell me is that what you need?
Dmaj7(2) C#maj7  Cmaj7  
All signs around say move ahead, could someone please explain to me
A6Aaug5
your ever present lack of speed
Dmaj7(2) C#maj7  
Are your muscles bound by ropes?
Cmaj7   A6Aaug5
Or do crutches cloud your day?
Dmaj7(2) C#maj7  
My sources say the road is clear.
Cmaj7   A6Aaug5
And street signs point the way.
[Chorus]

Bmin7 A#maj7  
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?
Dmaj7I think I grew a gray wD#maj7atching Dmaj7you procrastinate
Bmin7 A#maj7  
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?
[Verse 2]
Would a written invitation
Signed, Choose now or lose it all
Sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make you stall?
You've been raised in limitation
But that glove never fit quite right
The time has passed for hand-me-downs
Choose anew, please evolve
Take flight
[Chorus]
Dmaj7Are you gonna wait around D#maj7till 2Dmaj7012 A.D.
Bmin7 A#maj7  
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?

What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?
