Standard (EADGBE)

Well I set fire to an apple tree

And put it back out like a bad memory

And I washed my hands in the flood

Well I took a sip of the trouble Ive stirred

And I spit it back out like a four letter word

And I lost my head in the fire

Well I sat up high on the walls we built

And I felt just like a fool on stilts

But I just can't get down

Olives, and a pair of eyes

Are floating in my glass

And nothing has ever seemed so strange

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

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

Yeah Im standing in the light
