Verse 2:
Ohh and this one here was taken over seas  
In the middle of hell in 1943  
In the winter time you can almost see my breath  
That was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee  
He was a high school teacher from new Orleans  
And he had my back right through the day we left. 
 
Chorus: 
If it looks like we were scared to death  
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other  
You should've seen it in color. 
А picture's worth a thousand words  
But you cant see what those  
shades of gray keep covered  
You should've seen it in color 
 
Verse 3:
This one is my favorite one.  
This is me and grandma in the summer sun  
All dressed up the day we said our vows.  
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June  
That rose was red and her eyes were blue  
And just look at that smile I was so proud.  
 
Bridge: 
 Em                D/F         C  
      Thats the story of my life  
 Em             D/F              C  D  
      Right there in black and white 
 
Chorus:
If it looks like we were scared to death  
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other  
You should've seen it in color. 
А picture's worth a thousand words  
But you cant see what those  
shades of gray keep covered  
You should've seen it in color
