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, 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-free 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

Let it out (let it all out) let 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...

And 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,

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

So 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

no you cannot take it back

there's so many shades of black,

There's so many shades of black,

Yeah, there's many shades of black

there's so many shades of black

there's so many shades of black

Yeah, there's many shades of black

there's so many shades of black

Yeah, there's many shades of black

there's so many shades of black

Go ahead
