Green Grass

[Verse 1]
Ab
Hey
           C7
How's your life?
             Fm
Yeah, mine's alright
              Bb7
Oh, I'm doing fine (It's just life, honey)
      Ab
Well, hey
                 C7
I'm having a bad day
                Fm
So tell me it's okay
                         Bb7
Sometimes it's just that way
 
[Pre-chorus]
                  Ab
My mama said "The grass is always greener where you water it
                 C7
Go and fill your diet up with greens, and reds, and oranges
            Fm
Coffee goes cold, so you better drink all of it
                 Bb7
Go and live your life, 'cause you know you were born for it"
 
[Chorus]
               Ab
You are not an image or a product or commodity
                 C7
You aren't worth more because you like to eat broccoli
                       Fm
You're made up of your thoughts, habits, hopes, fears
                                      Bb7
And honestly, you're floating through space on a rock
 
Ain't that crazy?
 
[Post-chorus]
    Db
So, go and live your life
 
What could go wrong?
 
[Verse 2]
Ab
Hey
                                C7
So I fell on my face when I was walking through town earlier today
           Fm
But then I stayed down, laying on the ground
      Bb7
Cause everyone looks so happy when they're upside-down
     Ab
And, it got me wondering, what is this all about
           C7
We're just kids in the playground when the sun goes out, but
Fm
Am I instructions, what am I here to do
       Bb7
An existential crisis at twenty-two
 
[Pre-chorus]
                  Ab
My mama said "The grass is always greener where you wanna be
                    C7
You got to learn to love the ground you're standing on already
                Fm
And coffee goes cold, but be grateful that there's any
                 Bb7
Go and live your life, 'cause you've always been ready"
 
[Chorus]
               Ab
You are not an image or a product or commodity
                 C7
You aren't worth more because you like to eat broccoli
                       Fm
You're made up of your thoughts, habits, hopes, fears
                                      Bb7
And honestly, you're floating through space on a rock
 
Ain't that crazy?
 
[Bridge]
        Db
Ohh the grass will surely be greener
        Dbm
But why do we even need that goal?
    Ab
For purple, pink, or even turquoise
B
Yellow, you're a dreamer
        Dbm
Oh, I remember, what my mama said
 
She knew just what I needed
 
[Pre-chorus]
              Ab
She said 'The grass is always greener where you water it
                 Cm                                 C
Go and fill your diet up with greens, and reds, and oranges
            Fm
Coffee goes cold, that's why you better drink all of it, honey
Bm              Bbm
Go drink it up'
 
[Chorus]
 
Cause, honey
                Ab
You ain't an an image or a product or commodity
                 C7
You aren't worth more because you like to eat broccoli
                       Fm
You're made up of your thoughts, habits, hopes, fears
    Fm7                               Bb7
And honestly, you're floating through space on a rock
 
Ain't that crazy?
 
[Outro]
Ab C7                                 Fm
      (The grass is greener where you wanna be)
Bb7
    (It's just life, honey)
Ab C7                                 Fm
      (The grass is greener where you wanna be)
                   Bb7
(I love you, mama)
 
(It's just life, honey)
