| D | |
| Well I set fire to an apple tree |
| F#m | Bm | |
| And put it back | out like a | bad memory |
| G | A | D | |
| And I | washed my | hands in the | flood |
| D | |
| Well I took a sip of the trouble Ive stirred |
| F#m | Bm | |
| And I spit it back | out like a | four letter word |
| G | A | D | |
| And I | lost my | head in the | fire |
| D | |
| Well I sat up high on the walls we built |
| F#m | Bm | |
| And I felt just | like a | fool on stilts |
| G | A | D | |
| But I | just | can't get | down |
| G | F#m | |
| Olives, and a | pair of eyes |
| Bm | F#m | |
| Are | floating in my | glass |
| G | F#m | |
| And | nothing has ever | seemed so strange |
| Bm | A | |
| But | this I know will | pass |
| Well Ive seen as far as the eye can see |
| And I blew my mind in the lottery |
| But I lost my chance |
| Well Ive been told about the fiery skies |
| And Ive told my fair share of lies |
| But I believe in mine |
| Well Ive known folks as smarts as dogs |
| And Ive known folks like bumps on logs |
| And theyre all fine by me |
| Blue skies and my share of love |
| Are somewhere in the past |
| And nothing worth anything |
| Is strong enough to last |
| D | F#m | Bm | G | A | D |
| Well Ive done my time for the ills Ive caused |
| And Ive paid my dues in the bets Ive lost |
| 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 |
| G | A | D | |
| Yeah Im | standing | in the | light |
| D | F#m | Bm | G | A | D |
