You can play F#m as F#5 and E as E5 to make it sound more like the original. [Intro]

C#m B A E
Oh

E C#m F#m/A E 
Oh           x2

[Verse 1]

   C#m     B   A         E
If I could be just one thing

E       C#m      F#m/A     E
I would be what you're craving

C#m    B        A        E
6 foot 3 with steel blue eyes

          E           C#m             F#m/A     E   
Sweep you off of your feet before you count to 5

        C#m      B    A      E
But the truth is I am just a man

         E      C#m          F#m/A E        
Standing 5 foot 10 doing the best I can

    C#m        B        A     E 
And I've lived long enough to see

E        C#m      F#m/A   E
You will never be craving me

[Chorus]

C#m B    A          E
Oh,   I watched her go

          E           C#m         F#m/A E
After she planted her love in the top soil

             C#m   B      A      E
And from the top soil, an iris bloomed

       E         C#m        F#m/A   E
It was pretty in May but it died in June

[Post-Chorus]

C#m B A E
Oh

E C#m F#m/A E 
Oh

[Verse 2]

           C#m       B    A       E
If I could sing the way I feel inside

           E         C#m        F#m/A     E
It'd sound happy and sad at the same damn time

               C#m       B     A          E
Cause when you smiled at me on that dance floor

           E         C#m           F#m/A E
It was the prettiest mask that you ever wore

[Chorus]

C#m B    A          E
Oh,   I watched her go

          E           C#m         F#m/A E
After she planted her love in the top soil

             C#m   B      A      E
And from the top soil, an iris bloomed

       E         C#m        F#m/A   E
It was pretty in May but it died in June

[Post-Chorus]

C#m B A E
Oh

E C#m F#m/A E 
Oh           x2

[Outro]

         C#m   B      A     E
From the top soil, an iris bloomed

       E         C#m        F#m/A   E
It was pretty in May but it died in June
