Chords

C F C F C Em Am F G C
C         F                C           F
Well I set fire to an apple tree

     C       Em                 Am
And put it back out like a bad memory

      F                 G                  C
And I washed my hands in the flood

C            F                  C             F
Well I took a sip of the trouble Ive stirred

    F               Em               Am
And I spit it back out like a four letter word

       F          G           C
And I lost my head in the fire

 C             F              C            F
Well I sat up high on the walls we built

        Em                Am
And I felt just like a fool on stilts

  F       G          C          C7
But I just can't get down
[Chorus]
  F                    Em
Olives, and a pair of eyes

     Am                 F
Are floating in my glass

        C                        Em
And nothing has ever seemed so strange

    F                G    Gm
But this I know will pass
[Verse]
         C         F         C        F
Well Ive seen as far as the eye can see

     C        Em          Am    Am/G
And I blew my mind in the lottery

    F  G      C
But I lost my chanceз

     C         F             C     F
Well Ive been told about the fiery skies

     C  Em           Am    Am/G
And Ive told my fair share of lies

   F  G          C
But I believe in mine

     C         F         C       F
Well Ive known folks as smart as dogs

   C          Em         Am      Am/G
And Ive known folks like bumps on logs

F               G       C
And they're all fine by me
[Chorus]
F                 Em
Blue skies and my share of love

     Am             G
Are somewhere in the past

    F             Em
And nothing worth anything

  Am               G
Is strong enough to last

C                F            C         F
Well Ive done my time for the ills Ive caused

 C              Em          Am       Am/G
And Ive paid my dues in the bets Ive lost

             F       G     C
And Ive got room enough to die
Well Ive seen as far as my eyes can see And Ive tried my hand at the mystery Yet I walk in the land of the blind Yeah I made my bed in which I lie And Ive burnt the bridge to the other side And Im standing in the light
