Intro: Am G C F

Verse 1:
Am              G
5:34 AM, I was about to start my day
        C                            F
But she lay in there across me, so I stayed anyway
Am                        G
Arms tied, legs numb, her wrapped around my knee
C                               F
Sweetest of the sunflowers, how you're the sun to me

Instrumental: Am G C F

Verse 2:
          Am                                G
I don't recall what you were wearing on the first night we met
          C                               F
Besides a subtle cloud around you from my last cigarette
        Am                            G
And you come from a good place with a happy family
         C                           F
The only bad you've ever done was to see the good in me

Chorus:
       F        C        G            Am
Well, I've been livin', waitin' on the day
          F        C       G               Am
That the good lord willing sends you out my way
          F           C         G           Am
I've seen hard times, bad luck, all that in between
 F              C          G                    Am
Sweetest of the sunflowers, how you're the sun to me

Instrumental: Am G C F

Verse 3:
       Am                            G
I remember being younger and my mother told me true
      C                               F
Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you
      Am                                      G
Take heed when things get hard, and don't you ever turn around
            C                               F
You'll find someone, someday, somewhere that grows you to the clouds

Verse 4:
        Am                               G
And you walked me home that evening when I could barely walk
           C                           F
And you spoke to me so sweetly on the days I couldn't talk
       Am                         G
Now I'm seeing clearly and I'm growing up so free
          C                                F
Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, you're the sun to me

Chorus:
       F        C        G             Am
Well, I've been livin', waitin' on the day
          F        C       G               Am
That the good lord willing sends you out my way
           F           C          G           Am
I've seen hard times, bad luck, all that in between
 F              C          G                    Am
Sweetest of the sunflowers, how you're the sun to me
F               C          G                    Am
Sweetest of the sunflowers, how you're the sun to me
