D#m
Nuance was an old friend
     C#           F#
That everyone forgot
   B
After graduation
     A#
He became an afterthought

We threw a cocktail party
And just left nuance out
Of the conversation
Must have lost his invitation

       D#m
In the mail, in the mail
C#       B
The all too familiar tale
    F/A    G#m
Of growing up and closing off
           A#
And losing touch

Chorus:
D#m
I used to talk about the world
B                     C#
I used to talk about life with nuance
D#m
I used to see word from the trees
B              C#
I used to be alright with nuance
    D#m
But I've got some nuance, don't want to be seen
      B                           C#
With nuance, I've moved on, it's just not for me
D#m
Don't wanna talk about the world
 B                      C#
Don't wanna talk about life with nuance
D#m
Anymore
       B
Anymore
       C#
Da-da-dum-dum-dum

Nuance was an old friend
that had a lot to say
Sharin' his opinions,
used to listen in those days

But I threw a cocktail party
and just left nuance out
Of the conversation,
musta lost his invitation

In the mail, in the mail
The all-too-familiar tale
Of growin' up and closin' off and losin' touch
Mm-mm

Chorus

    G#m
And if I do ever see him
    B
Run into him at a café
       F#
And he asks me why I don't call him
          C#
I'll have nothing with nuance to say
I'll have nothing with nuance to say

Chorus
