C#m B A E
Oh
E C#m F#m/A E
Oh (2x)

[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 F#m/A E
Sweep you off of your feet before you count to 5
C#m B A E
But the truth is I am just a man
E C#m F#m/A E
Standing 5 foot 10 doing the best I 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]
C#m B A E
Oh, I watched her go
E C#m F#m/A E
After she planted her love in the top soil
C#m B A E
And from the top soil, an iris bloomed
E C#m F#m/A E
It was pretty in May but it died in June

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

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

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