Flowers Eurydices Song chords by Anais Mitchell

Chords with lyrics

Verse

Bb majorBb
What I wanted was to fall asleep
 Bb majorBb
Close my eyes and disappear
 Bb majorBb
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
 Bb majorBb
Lily white and poppy red
 Bb majorBb        AbAb
I trembled when he laid me out
 Bb majorBb          AbAb    F minorFm     Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
 AbAb            Bb majorBb   AbAb Bb majorBb AbAb Bb majorBb AbAb Bb majorBb
Nothing gonna wake you now

Verse

 Bb majorBb
Dreams are sweet until they're not
 Bb majorBb             F minorFm
Men are kind until they aren't
 Bb majorBb             F minorFm    Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
 Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
Is anybody listening?
 Bb majorBb                 C minorCm
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
 Bb majorBb
Nothing
 Bb majorBb            AbAb Bb majorBb AbAb Bb majorBb AbAb Bb majorBb
Nothing gonna wake me now

Verse

 Bb majorBb
Flowers, I remember fields
      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb      G minorGm
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
        Bb majorBb
Walking in the sun
 Eb MajorEb
I remember someone
        Bb majorBb
Someone by my side
 Eb MajorEb
Turned his face to mine
  Bb majorBb
And then I turned away
Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb C minorCm Bb majorBb G minorGm AbAb
Into the shade

Outro

 Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
You, the one I left behind
       Bb majorBb
If you ever walk this way
 C majorC
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
