Iris

C#m B A E
Oh
E C#m F#m/A E
Oh           x2


[Verse 1]
   C#m     B   A         E
If I could be just one thing
E       C#m      F#m/A     E
I would be what you're craving
C#m    B        A        E
6 foot 3 with steel blue eyes
          E           C#m         
Sweep you off of your feet before 
    F#m/A     E
you count to 5
        C#m      B    A      E
But the truth is I am just a man
         E      C#m          F#m/A
Standing 5 foot 10 doing the best I 
 E
can
    C#m        B        A     E
And I've lived long enough to see
E        C#m      F#m/A   E
You will never be craving me

[Chorus]
Continues after the ad
C#m B    A          E
Oh,   I watched her go
          E           C#m         
After she planted her love in the 
F#m/A E
top soil
             C#m   B      A 
And from the top soil, an iris 
     E
bloomed
       E         C#m        F#m/A
It was pretty in May but it died 
   E
in June

[Post-Chorus]
C#m B A E
Oh

E C#m F#m/A E
Oh

[Verse 2]
           C#m       B    A 
If I could sing the way I feel 
      E
inside
           E         C#m        
It'd sound happy and sad at the 
F#m/A     E
same damn time
               C#m       B     A 
Cause when you smiled at me on 
         E
that dance floor
           E         C#m           
It was the prettiest mask that you 
F#m/A E
ever wore

[Chorus]
C#m B    A          E
Oh,   I watched her go
          E           C#m         
After she planted her love in the 
F#m/A E
top soil
             C#m   B      A 
And from the top soil, an iris 
     E
bloomed
       E         C#m        F#m/A
It was pretty in May but it died 
   E
in June

[Post-Chorus]
C#m B A E
Oh

E C#m F#m/A E
Oh           x2

         C#m   B      A     E
From the top soil, an iris bloomed
       E         C#m        F#m/A
It was pretty in May but it died 
   E
