Ellie Dixon - 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)
