I fell into [Em] the ocean [B] and [A] you became [D] my way [G]
[D] I rested [F#] all against the sea to have a better
[Bm] life
[F#m] You [Em] are the wild [A] blue sky
Men [D] do foolish things
[G] You turn kings [F#] into beggars
Beggars [B] into [Bm] kings
[G] Pretend that you [D] mean nothing
[A] In all the [D] world's dreams [G] We can bring [D] back the old days again
[A] When all the world [D] is green The [F#m]
[Bm] [F#] face [Em] forgives the [F#] mirror
[D] The worm [G] [D] forgives the plow
[G] [Bm] The question [F#] begs the answer
Can [C#] you forgive [Bm] me somehow Maybe [F#m] [E] when our [B] story's [A] over
We'll go where [D] it's always spring
[G] The band is [F#] playing our song again
When all the world is green
[G] Pretend that you mean [D] nothing
[A] In all the [D] world's dreams We [G] can bring [D] back the old days again
[A] When all the world [D] is green The [F#m]
[Bm] moon [Em] is yellow silver
[A] The things [D] that summer brings [G] It's a [F#] love you'd kill for
When all the [Bm] world is green He's [B] balancing a diamond
[A] On a [D] blade of grass
[G] The two will settle [F#] on our graves
When all the world is green [Bm]
[G] Pretend that [D] you mean nothing
In [A] all the [D] world's dreams [G] We can bring back [D] the old days [A] again
When all the [D] world is green [G]
