The street beneath my feet Is paved with rows of gold
   Fmaj7
Or so    I'm told (so I'm told)

The crowds of purple orchid flowers, I can't see

They're still not mine (still not mine)

Still second-hand

She gave me half my bones and made me one my lungs
Am7                              Cm7
But the same cold air is filling both of them
     Gm7                               Em7
Meanwhile a crocodile points out whats left behind
    Am7                           Dmaj7
The field of yellow daffodils you tried
