Petals chords by Mariah Carey

Asus2 Fmaj7 G Asus2 A

Asus2
I've often wondered if there's
F              G        A
Ever been a perfect family
                              F
I've always longed for undividedness
         G          A
And sought stability

    F
A flower taught me how to pray
    F6
But as I grew, that flower changed
    Fmaj7
She started flailing in the wind
     F6/9
Like golden petals scattering

CHORUS 1:
      F             G
And I miss you dandelion
         A
And even love you
      F                G
And I wish there was a way
                A
For me to trust you
       F              G
But it hurts me every time
         A
I try to touch you
      F        G
But I miss you dandelion
              A
And even love you

Asus2                  F
I gravitated towards a patriarch
   G             A
So young predictably
A
I was resigned to spend my life
F      G            A
With a maze of misery

  F
A boy and a girl befriended me
   F6
We bonded through despondency
  Fmaj7
I stayed so long but finally
  F6/9
I fled to save my sanity

CHORUS 2:
      F               G
And I miss you little sis and
          A
Little brother
      F           G
And I hope you realize
                A
L'll always love you
      F                   G
And although you're struggling
           A
You will recover
      F               G
And I miss you little sis and
          Asus
Little brother

A5 Am G Fmaj7

Dm      Dm/C
So many I considered
Am
Closest to me
Dm
Turned on a dime and sold me
Am         Am9
Out dutifully
Dm
Although that knife was chipping
Am
Away at me
  Dm
They turned their eyes away and
Em/A         A
Went home to sleep ...

CHORUS 3:
Am/G  F               G
And I missed a lot of life
           A
But l'II recover
         F               G
Though I know you really like
           A
To see me suffer
        F                 G
Still I wish that you and I'd
               A
Forgive each other
         F              G
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
             Asus2
And really loved you


I really loved you -
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity -

And I found the strength to break away
