[G] [C]
I've had to think up a way to survive
[F] Since you said it's over, told me [C] goodbye
I just can't make it one day without you
[F] Unless I pretend [G] that the [C] opposite's true
[G] [Am] Rivers flow [G] [C] backwards, valleys are high
[F] Mountains are level, truth [C] is a lie
[Am] I'm perfectly [G] fine [Fm] and I [C] don't miss you
[F] The sky is green and [G] the grass [C] is blue
[Am]
[Em] [F]

[G] [C]
[F] [G]
[C] How much can a heart and a troubled mind take?
[F] Where is that fine line before it [C] all breaks?
Can one end their sorrow, just cross over it
[F] And into that realm [G] of
[C] insanity's bliss?
[Am] There's snow [G] in the tropics, [F] there's ice [C] on the sun
[F] It's hot in the Arctic and crying [C] is fun
And [Am] I'm [G] happy now [F] and I'm glad [C] we're through
[F] And the sky is green and [G] the grass [C] is blue
And [Am] the rivers [G] flow backwards and [F] my [Dm] tears [C] are dry
[F] Swans hate the water and eagles [C] can't fly
But [Am] I'm [G] alright now and [Gm] [F] I'm [C] over you
And the [F] sky is green and [G] the grass [Am] is blue
[F] And I don't love you and [G] the grass is blue
