Verse:
B             Gbm7
What I wanted was to fall asleep
 B             Gbm7
Close my eyes and disappear
 B                 Gbm7                       B Gbm7
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
 B         Gbm7
Lily white and poppy red
 B                A
I trembled when he laid me out
  B                           A                  B E
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
 A                       E B
Nothing gonna wake you now
 
Interlude: A B A B A B
 
Verse:
 B                 Gbm7
Dreams are sweet until they're not
  B           Gbm7
Men are kind until they aren't
 B             Gbm7                        B E
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
 B         E
Is anybody listening?
  B              Gbm7
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
 B
Nothing
 B       E              B
Nothing gonna wake me now
 
Interlude: A B A B A B
 
Verse:
 E       B 
Flowers, I remember fields
   E         B            Abm 
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
B 
Walking in the sun
E
I remember someone
B
Someone by my side
  E
Turned his face to mine
    A
And then I turned away
E             B
Into the shade
 
Interlude: Dbm B Abm A
 
Outro:
 B     A
You, the one I left behind
B            A
If you ever walk this way
B        A         Gbm7                 B
