Intro:

C Am E

Verse 1:
         C                   Am
I've been missing the way the world used to look
      E
Been missing the calm before everything shook
             C                     Am
There was a time in my life it was almost a dream
    E                                        C Am E
The blues were so blue the greens were so, so green

Verse 2:
    C
And memories wait
          Am
They're a double-edged sword
              E
There's still ones that you need

And the ones you can't afford
          C
Then  you can't go back
     Am
Even if you try
         E
Then no one asked me for this advice

[Pre-chorus]
     F         Em
But erase your nerves
  F         G
Soften your heart
     F        Em        F    G
This life it makes you hard enough

Chorus:
               C Am                 E
You gotta stay green as long as you can
     C  Am              E
Keep dreaming until the end
             C              Am                   E
When someone breaks another wish you let it just die
             F            G               C
Then you can stay forever green beautiful child

Verse 3:
    C                     Am
And bones they creak they snap and they break
   E                          G
My eyes get weak when there's just too much to take
         C                     Am
And your hair gets coarse your hands get dry
    E
Its hard to ignore the harshness of life

[Pre-chorus]
   F       Em        F         G
Reset your nerves soften your heart
      F        Em       F    G
This life it makes you hard enough

Chorus:
               C Am                  E
You gotta stay green as long as you can
     C  Am              E
Keep dreaming until the end
              C              Am                   E
Where someone breaks another wish you let it just die
              F            G                C
There you can stay forever green beautiful child

Refrain:
               C Am                  E
You gotta stay green as long as you can
     C Am               E
Keep dreaming until the end

Chorus:
             C                  Am                E
When someone breaks your latest wish, let it just die
             C                 Am                E
When someone tells you who you are, don't internalize
             C                 Am                   E
Sometimes it hurts it hurts so bad, but baby that's life
                     F            G
So, try your best to stay forever green
F            G
Stay forever green
              F            G                C
Yeah, you can stay forever green, beautiful child
