  Bb5(9)                       Eb5(9)      Ab5(9)       Ab5(9)
I met a man I didn't know that asked me "how are you doing?"
  Bb5(9)                     Eb5(9)      Ab5(9)         Ab5(9)
Shoulda just said fine cause it's all he wanted to hear
        Bb5(9)               Eb5(9)      Ab5(9)         Ab5(9)
But for reasons unknown in a sorrowful tone I said
Bb5(9)          Eb5(9)        Ab5(9)      Ab5(9)
Man it's been a hell of a year

      Bb5(9)       Eb5(9)         Ab5(9) Ab5(9)
And I don't really know where I'm going
      Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)        Ab5(9) Ab5(9)
And I might just be hangin' around
   Bb5(9)         Eb5(9)      Ab5(9)          Ab5(9)
If life shades of gray then I guess you could say
               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)       Ab5(9)    Ab5(9)
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

          Bb5(9)      Eb5(9)            Ab5(9) Ab5(9)
I went to go see some gypsy to tell me my future
        Bb5(9)       Eb5(9)          Ab5(9)    Ab5(9)
But she asked for my photograph instead
     Bb5(9)             Eb5(9)       Ab5(9)       Ab5(9)
As I walked through the cold with my fortune untold I said
Bb5(9)              Eb5(9)            Ab5(9)    Ab5(9)
Good luck trying to reach me when I'm dead

        Bb5(9)       Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
Cause I don't really know where I'm going
      Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
And I might just be hangin' around
   Bb5(9)         Eb5(9)      Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
If life shades of gray then I guess you could say
               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
That I've been waiting on a break in the clouds
               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

          Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)        Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
I saw the love I used to know swallow me whole
     Bb5(9)    Eb5(9)        Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
On a day I was out of clean clothes
             Bb5(9)     Eb5(9)        Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
She sized me up and she said "honey, how is your head?"
             Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)        Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
I said "you can't call me honey, but honey heaven only knows"

      Bb5(9)       Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
And I don't really know where I'm going
      Bb5(9)       Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
And I might just be hangin around
   Bb5(9)       Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
If life shades of gray then I guess you could say
               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
Bet your gonna be finding a break in the clouds
               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
No, no, I don't, no, I don't know where I'm going
               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
And I might might might might just be hangin' around
       Bb5(9)         Eb5(9)         Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
And if life shades of gray then I guess you could say
               Bb5(9)        Eb5(9)          Ab5(9)        Ab5(9)
That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds
