Capo 4th fret



[Verse 1]
            
Staring out th

              
e window of yo

         
ur city apartm

ent
             
Wishing I was 

            
anywhere else
            
Right then and

              
 there I made 

            
myself a promi

se
             
That one day I

              
’d escape your

    
 hell
             
You reached ov

              
er and pulled 

           
the blinds

Said the sun w

ould burn my e

yes
     
Told me I had 

the perfect li

fe
          
But it turns o

ut (it turns o

ut)


[Chorus]
              
The grass is g

              
reener on the 


other side
              
Yeah, it looks

           
 even better t

           
han what I had

 in mind
              
Yeah, I could 

           
build a house 

          
and maybe pain

t it white
              
Now I see for 

           
miles and it’s

 
 all mine

Yeah it’s all 

mine
    
Always said th

at I wouldn’t 

amount to anyt

hing
     
Oh, and lately

 I’ve been sen

sing some jeal

ousy
    
By the way ton

ight he’s slee

ping right nex

t to me
           
Oh it’s so muc

  
h sweeter
              
God it’s so mu

              
ch greener on 

    
the other side


[Verse 2]
           
Staring at the

              
 dark skyline 

       
from a distanc

e
             
Feels like ano

              
ther planet no

   
w (like anothe

r planet)
            
And you’d neve

              
r admit that t

         
his one existe

d
             
Runnin’ felt s

            
o out of bound

s
  
I guess I prov

ed the theory 

wrong
        
I stepped over

 where that li

ne was drawn
        
To this viride

scent bridge I

’m on
           
And I’m lookin

  
’ out, I’m loo

kin’ out


[Chorus]
              
The grass is g

              
reener on the 


other side
              
Yeah, it looks

[Bridge]
           
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
