Many Shades Of Black

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Go ahead

Go ahead

And smash it on the floor

Take whatever's left

And take it with you out the door

See if I cry

See if I shed a single sorry tear

I can't say that it's been that great

No, in fact it's been a wasted year

Everybody sees and everyone agrees

That you and I are wrong

And it's been that way too long

Take it as it comes

And be thankful when it's done

There's so many ways to act

And there's many shades of black

There's so many shades of black

There's so many shades of black

Yeah, yeah

Let it out

Lett it all out

Say what's on your mind

You can kick and scream

And shout and say things

That are so unkind

Yeah

See if I care

And see if I stand firm

Or if I fall

'Cause in the back of my mind

And on the tip of my tongue

Is the answer to it all

Everybody sees and everyone agrees

That you and I are wrong

And it's been that way too long

Take it as it comes

And be thankful when it's done

There's so many ways to act

And there's many shades of black

There's many shades of black

Yeah

There's many shades of black

Yeah

Everybody sees and everyone agrees

That you and I are wrong

And it's been that way too long

Baby take it as it comes

And be thankful when it's done

There's so many ways to act

And you cannot take it back

(Many shades of black)

No, you cannot take it back

'Cause there's many shades of black

(Many shades of black)

You have many shades of black

You have many

(Many shades of black)

You have many

You have many shades of black

'Cause there's many shades of black

There's so many shades of black

(Many shades of black)

There's so many shades of black

There's so many shades of black
