(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
