G                     D         F
We watch the old news distracted
                      C               G
As they talked on and on in the usual way
                       D         F
About the latest lies, deceptions
                    C                   G
We saw tomorrow, we longed for a better day

[Chorus]
      C                 G   Gmaj7
And I know why green is blue
           C              G  D
There's so much we didn't do
      Am       Em       G
Oh, I know why green is blue

[Instrumental]
G  D  F  C

[Verse 2]
G                           D           F
We heard the warning calls, ignored them
                             C                    G
We watch the weather change, we saw the fires and floods
                        D      F
We saw the people rise, divided
                              C                G
We fought each other while we lost our coveted prize

[Chorus]
           C              G  Gmaj7
There's so much we didn't do
        C              G  D
That we knew we had to do
       Am       Em       G
And we know why green is blue

[Intrumental]
G  D  F  C (x2)

[Bridge]
F                           C
We watched the species die, we saw the coral turning
G
We watched the oceans rise

[Verse 3]
G                        D          F
We saw the pod of whales lay bloated
                               C                  G
On the shore where they baked, but we missed that sign
                       D          F
We saw the polar bear, she floated
              C                G
On a piece of ice from another time
     C
So I know
