Capo 2

         G
When you walked out of my life
         D
I didn't think that I'd survive
G                              D 
Hope was growing dimmer day by day
    G    
But much to my surprise
       Bm
Lord I made it out alive
       D                A            D 
An' my world is looking anything but grey


Chorus:
       D    G              D 
I came through with flyin' colors
                   G                      D
A little black and blue from the wear and tear
         G               G7           D                B7
But love got the best of me, and I turn green with jealousy
         E7                                A
When you made it crystal clear you did not care
       D    G              D 
I came through with flyin' colors
            G                               D 
My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through
         G              G7             D              B7
I should win the Purple Heart 'cause you tore mine all apart
           G                   A            F      D
But I came through with flyin' colors after losin' you


Yes I've got a yell'er streak
'Cause I know your places weak
An' I still get pale whenever you're in sight
I may shade out of my mind
Oh but I'm not color blind
'Cause I've learned that love ain't only black and white

Chorus

Oh I should win the Purple Heart
'Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin' colors
After losin' you
