I'm Standing in the Light

[D]Well I set fire to an apple tree
And put it back [F#m]out like a [Bm]bad memory
And I [G]washed my [A]hands in the [D]flood
[D]Well I took a sip of the trouble Ive stirred
And I spit it back [F#m]out like a [Bm]four letter word
And I [G]lost my [A]head in the [D]fire
[D]Well I sat up high on the walls we built
And I felt just [F#m]like a [Bm]fool on stilts
But I [G]just [A]can't get [D]down

[G]Olives, and a [F#m]pair of eyes
Are [Bm]floating in my [F#m]glass
And [G]nothing has ever [F#m]seemed so strange
But [Bm]this I know will [A]pass

Well Ive seen as far as the eye can see
And I blew my mind in the lottery
But I lost my chance
Well Ive been told about the fiery skies
And Ive told my fair share of lies
But I believe in mine
Well Ive known folks as smarts as dogs
And Ive known folks like bumps on logs
And theyre all fine by me

Blue skies and my share of love
Are somewhere in the past
And nothing worth anything
Is strong enough to last

[D] [F#m] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]

Well Ive done my time for the ills Ive caused
And Ive paid my dues in the bets Ive lost
And Ive got room enough to die
Well Ive seen as far as my eyes can see
And Ive tried my hand at the mystery
Yet I walk in the land of the blind
Yeah I made my bed in which I lie
And Ive burnt the bridge to the other side
And Im standing in the light
Yeah Im [G]standing [A]in the [D]light

[D] [F#m] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]
