I've transcribed this version of Grey Street from the "Busted Stuff" CD 
version,
NOT "The Lillywhite Sessions".
Remember, as with many Dave Matthews'songs it's usually easiest to seperate 
your
head from what you are singing & what you are playing ~ enjoy.
Let me know if you'd like a complete version with the entire lyrics.

[Verse1]
Oh look at . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  listens
She says nothing . . . . . . . . . . . .  thinks
She just goes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . her memories
Staring out . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Grey Street

She says, ÒHey,
How . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  this?
I dream . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . around the world,
But I  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . this placeÓ
-----------------------------------
[Chorus]
ThereÕs an emptiness inside her
And sheÕd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey [intro]
And it breaks her heart
-----------------------------------
[Verse2]
How . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . different
She prays . . . . . . . . . . . . every night
And though . . . . . . . . . . . . . doesnÕt listen
ThereÕs still . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it might

She says, ÒI pray
But . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . deaf ears,
Am I supposed . . . . . . . . . . . . myself?
To get . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . placeÓ
------------------------------------
[Chorus]
ThereÕs loneliness inside her
And . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . fill it in
And though itÕs red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors . . . . . . . . . . .  - to grey [intro]
And . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  heart
---------------------------------------
[Verse3]
ThereÕs a stranger . . . . . . . . . . . . door
Says take . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . your dreams
Make them . . . . . . . . . . . . . . anything
ItÕd take . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . courage

But she says, ÒPlease
ThereÕs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . my door,
I live on . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . end of the worldÓ
-------------------------------------------
[Chorus]
ThereÕs an emptiness inside her
And . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . fill it in
And though . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . her now
ItÕs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - to grey [intro]
And . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  heart
It breaks her heart
To grey
