[Verse 1 - Both]
    G#m9
His skin wasn't the same color as mine (her skin wasn't the same color as mine)
         E/B          D#m/C#
But he was fine, he was fine (but she was fine, she was fine)
   G#m9
If all men are made equal, then
     E/B          D#m/C#
He was fine, he was fine (she was fine, she was fine)
G#m9
Up until the time we went out on a date
     E/B        D#m/C#
I was fine, I was fine
        G#m9
Now I'm getting dirty looks, I wonder what they'd say
         E/B                D#m/C#
If we were blind, we were blind people
 
 
[Chorus - Both]

   We've got a long way to go
     E/B
When snow hits the asphalt

Cold looks and bad talk come
G#m9
   We've got a long way to go
       E/B
It's beyond Martin Luther

Yellow or green, baby, you know what I mean?

What if Picasso only used one color?
      E/B                        D#m/C#
There shouldn't be a rule how to choose your lover
G#m9
Lovers in love is such a wonderful thing
E/B                       D#m/C#
Maybe in time we'll get together and sing
         G#m9
I really hope so, there's nothing wrong with this picture
   E/B                      D#m/C#
We got a long way to go, we gotta get there quicker
