[Verse]
The Bmgrass is so Agreen, so it Eseems
On the side that´s not Bmyours
IlAlusions of Ecourse
BmYou roll the Adice, no surEprise
Three times six, that's the Bmtrick
The Adevil wears your Elips
[Chorus]
Colors Gfade into the Bmflames
Black and Awhite is what reEmains
GWe are only Bmpieces to Aplay
My own Emqueen to change the Ggame
Now the Dking has been beAtrayed
EmBridges burn, I Bmrealise my Afate
You call checkBmmateA  E  
[Verse]
BmJust stop preAtend, time won't Emend
It won't heal your reBmmorse
APast my breaking Epoint
BmChanges of Aheart, drift aEpart
Shifting ways in this Bmgame
And Anow it is too Elate
[Chorus]
Colors Gfade into the Bmflames
