Intro: Ab C# Db Eb 
 
#1. 
  Ab            Db 
I had the world when you were mine.. 
      Eb        Ab  F# F 
but I threw it away. 
  Bbm                   F#      Db 
I thought the grass was greener there.. 
Bb                   Eb                  
where I wandered one day. 
 
#2. 
  Ab                 Db     
I left your arms for someone else.. 
    Eb           Ab   F# F 
but he was never true. 
  Bbm                   F#      Db 
I thought the grass was greener there.. 
Ab  Eb      Ebm  Ab 
now here am I so blue. 
 
Bridge: 
 
Ab    Bbm          Eb    Cm   
Now another, now another holds your hand. 
Am          Bbm              Eb 
And there's nothing, there's nothing left  
    Ab 
for me. 
       G                Cm             Fm 
And it hurts so much to see her stand, where  
Bb             Eb  Bbm Eb 
I once used to be. 
 
#3. 
   Ab     C  Ab    Db                   Eb 
It breaks my heart when you walk by..so near,  
           Ab  F# F 
and yet so far. 
        Bbm      Db     Ab   Eb Ab         Eb 
And the grass is really greener there..for that's  
               Ab  C Db F# F 
just where you are. 
 
OUTRO: 
           Bbm   Ab Db                 Ab 
I know the grass is greener there..for that's  
Eb   Cm    Eb  Ab  Eb B Ab 
just where you are. 
 
 
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
