  			(note: so I wanted to play this one the other day and I noticed there are only cover versions.  
So here it is the original version by Dolly) 


C 
I've had to think up a way to survive  
      F 
Since you said it's over  
             C 
Told me goodbye  
C 
I just can't make it one day without you  
F                         G          C          
Unless I pretend that the opposite's true  


Am          G 
Rivers flow backwards  
F           C 
Valleys are high  
F              
Mountains are level  
           C 
Truth is a lie  
Am            G 
I'm perfectly fine  
    F            C 
And I don't miss you  
    F 
The sky is green  
        G        C 
And the grass is blue  

Am  Em  F  C  Am  G  F  G 

    C 
How much can a heart and a troubled mind take  
F                                     C 
Where is that fine line before it all breaks  
                              C 
Can one end their sorrow just cross over it  
    F                  G          C 
And into that realm of insanity's bliss  


       Am           G 
There's snow in the tropics  
        F          C         
There's ice on the sun  
     F           
It's hot in the Arctic  
              C  
And crying is fun  
    Am        G 
And I'm happy now  
F                   C 
And I'm glad we're through  
        F 
And the sky is green  
        G        C 
And the grass is blue  


        Am          G 
And the rivers flow backwards  
    F            C 
And my tears are dry  
F 
Swans hate the water  
                 C 
And eagles can't fly  
Am              G     
But I'm alright now  
         F        C 
Now that I'm over you  
        F 
And the sky is green  
        G        Am 
And the grass is blue  
    F 
And I don't love you  
        G        Am 
And the grass is blue
