Version 1

Bm                Em 
I fell into the ocean 
A                    D 
when you became my wife 
G                             Em 
I risked it all against the sea 
F#                 Bm 
to have a better life 
			
Marie, you're the wide blue sky 
and men do foolish things 
You turn kings into beggars 
and beggars into kings 
			
   G                    D 
Pretend that you owe me nothing 
    A                D 
and all the world is green 
         G                          D 
Let's pretend we can bring back the old days again 
    A                D 
and all the world is green 
			
The face forgives the mirror 
The worm forgives the plow 
The question begs the answer 
Can you forgive me somehow 
Maybe when our story's over 
we'll go where it's always spring 
The band is playing our song again 
and all the world is green 
			
Pretend that you owe me nothing... 
			
When the moon is yellow silver 
on the things that summer brings 
It's a love you'd kill for 
snd all the world is green 
He's balancing a diamond 
on a blade of grass 
The dew will settle on our grave 
when all the world is green 
			
Pretend that you owe me nothing... 
			
(Solo) 
			
He's balancing a diamond 
on a blade of grass 
The dew will settle on our grave 
when all the world is green 
			
Pretend that you owe me nothing... 

Lyrics

I fell into the ocean
When you became my wife
I risked it all against the sea
To have a better life
Marie you're the wild blue sky
And men do foolish things
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kings

Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old
days again
And all the world is green

The face forgives the mirror
The worm forgives the plow
The questions begs the answer
Can you forgive me somehow
Maybe when our story's over
We'll go where it's always spring
The band is playing our song again
And all the world is green

Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old
days again
And all the world is green

The moon is yellow silver
Oh the things that summer brings
It's a love you'd kill for
And all the world is green
He is balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our grave
When all the world is green
