Verse 1:

A augmentedA          A7sus2
What I wanted was to fall asleep
A augmentedA         A7sus2
Close my eyes and disappear
A augmentedA         A7sus2           A augmentedA  A7sus2
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air

A augmentedA       A7sus2
Lily white and poppy red
A augmentedA        G+G
I trembled as he laid me out
A augmentedA        A7sus2             G+G  A augmentedA

Flowers bloom, until they rot, and fall apart

Is anybody listening?

Nothing, nothing gonna wake me now

D*    A*     E minorEm    D*
Flowers, I remember fields of flowers
A*       Asus2*
Soft beneath my heels
A augmentedA  A7sus2  A augmentedA
Walking in the sun,

I remember someone
A augmentedA    Asus2Asus2  A augmentedA
Someone by my side,

turned his face to mine
  A*   Asus2Asus2   A augmentedA
And then I turned away,
D*         Asus2Asus2
into the shade

If you ever walk this way

Come and find me lying in the bed I made
