Intro - C
1]
C Dm7
I won't get mad and I won't break in two
C F
Because I understand you
C Dm7
I'll take this change and let my clothes soak with rain
C F
As I study orchid blooms
2]
Dm7 C F C
And some can't live unless they feed on fallen leaves
Dm7 G C
And so you'll let me down to come alive when you comfort me
1]
C Dm7
I've watched you change I've heard your words rearrange
C F
Way back from the start
C Dm7
And if I did teach you anything at all
C F
I hope it was to love with all your heart
2]
Dm7 C F C
And they open wide with imperfect symmetry
Dm7 G C
And so you'll love like you and I will love like me

3]
Dm7 C F C
And to be reborn they have to go to seed
Dm7 G Dm7 F C
And so, angel, you will have to set me free. Please rate for accuracy!
