(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
