Verse 1:

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

A              A7sus2
Lily white and poppy red
A               G
I trembled as he laid me out
A                A7sus2                         G   A
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
G                      D A Em
Nothing gonna wake you now


Bridge:

G Em A Asus2 Em G A


Verse 2:

A                A7sus2
Dreams are sweet, until they're not
A            A7sus2
Men are kind, until they aren't
A              A7sus2                   A Em
Flowers bloom, until they rot, and fall apart

Asus2       A7
Is anybody listening?
   Em               A
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
A        Asus2             G       A  Em
Nothing, nothing gonna wake me now


Bridge:

G Em A A7sus2 Em G A


Verse 3:

D*       A*         Em       D*
Flowers, I remember fields of flowers
A*              Asus2*
Soft beneath my heels
A    A7sus2   A
Walking in the sun,
D*
I remember someone
A       Asus2    A
Someone by my side,
D*
turned his face to mine
    A*      Asus2     A
And then I turned away,
D*                 Asus2
into the shade


Bridge:

A Asus2 A Em  A Asus2 A Em


Outro:

A             Em    A
You, the one I left behind
            Em
If you ever walk this way
A*       Em*     G            Em    A*
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
