Intro:
A minorAm E minorEm
A minorAm

Verse 1:
A minorAm
If it were a flower
  E minorEm       A minorAm
It would not be a rose
  A minorAm
And if it were a bird
     G+G
Would be fast on wings away from home
  A minorAm
And if it were a tree
E minorEm
Down in the deep dark its roots would be
   A minorAm
But if it were a flower
  E minorEm       A minorAm
It would not be a rose
DmDm  A minorAm   DmDm   A minorAm   E minorEm  A minorAm
Aahh Aaaahhh aahhh ahhh...

Verse 2:
A minorAm
And if it were a room
     E minorEm
Would be one with corners lost in gloom
  A minorAm
And if it were a song
     G+G
Would be sung with a slow and plantive tune
  A minorAm
And if it were a face
   E minorEm
Would contain a sadness you wouldn't place
   A minorAm
But if it were a flower
  E minorEm       A minorAm
It would not be a rose
DmDm  A minorAm   DmDm   A minorAm   E minorEm  A minorAm
Aahh Aaaahhh aahhh ahhh...


Verse 3:
A minorAm            E minorEm
If it were the sea, would rise up
      E minorEm
Swell, and swallow me
  A minorAm
If it were my heart
   G+G
Would fill up full and fall apart
  A minorAm
And if it were the ground
   E minorEm
Would pull me in without a sound
  A minorAm
But if it were a flower
  E minorEm       A minorAm
It would not be a rose
DmDm  A minorAm   DmDm   A minorAm   E minorEm  A minorAm
Aaahhh aaaahh aaahh...
