Standard (EADGBE)

Well you stay with me, in the balcony,

 And we'll sink in our seas as the people all leave

And we can hide out as the curtain comes down

 And then fall asleep to the sleeping sound

When the morning is drawing near

I'll see if the coast is clear

Green eyes are better than blue

 I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth

It's enough to make me run away with you

 Darling green eyes are better than blue

She says, "This isn't easy, you know

Loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold

 And I pray for the days when I won't sleep alone"

She says, "This isn't easy, you know"

(chorus)

Well Johnny says don't bring her down

'Cause when the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground

 You will wish that you left her the way that you'd found her

Now Johnny says don't bring her down

(chorus)

 Well I saw you in the water last night

 You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight

 When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life

 'Cause I saw you in the water last night

(chorus)
