Flowers Eurydices Song chords by Anais Mitchell

Verse

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

Verse

 Bb
Dreams are sweet until they're not
 Bb             Fm
Men are kind until they aren't
 Bb             Fm    Bb   Eb
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
 Bb          Eb
Is anybody listening?
 Bb                 Cm
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
 Bb
Nothing
 Bb            Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb
Nothing gonna wake me now

Verse

 Bb
Flowers, I remember fields
      Eb Bb      Gm
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
        Bb
Walking in the sun
 Eb
I remember someone
        Bb
Someone by my side
 Eb
Turned his face to mine
  Bb
And then I turned away
Eb       Bb Cm Bb Gm Ab
Into the shade

Outro

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