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

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

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
