[Intro] E B E [Verse 1]
                        A             E
Sometimes I feel like a flower in the desert

                      B          E
Blooming alone like a motherless child

                 A         E
So far away in a prison of freedom

                          B           E
The only thing living for hundreds of miles.
[Verse 2]
                      A          E
I gave you all of the love in my heart

                             B         E
Just like a bouquet for your beautiful hand

                                  A             E
And you stayed till its roots had grown deep as the ocean

                       B           E
And left it alone in a cold barren land
[Chorus]
                                A       E
I don't think again I will find room or reason

                           B             E
To thirst for the water or reach for the sky

                    A             E
I wish I was just a flower in the desert

                               B            E
That never knew the meaning of hello or goodbye.
[Verse 3]
                          A              E
I nurtured and tended the faith I had in you

                                  B              E
But the seeds of destruction were there from the start

                        A          E
Was I born to bloom and waste my sweet fragrance

                              B          E
On the desolate plain of your cold, cold heart.
[Chorus]
                                A       E
I don't think again I will find room or reason

                           B             E
To thirst for the water or reach for the sky

                    A             E
I wish I was just a flower in the desert

                               B            E
That never knew the meaning of hello or goodbye.
[Chorus]
                                A       E
I don't think again I will find room or reason

                           B             E
To thirst for the water or reach for the sky

                    A             E
I wish I was just a flower in the desert

                               B            E
That never knew the meaning of hello or goodbye.
[Outro]
                               B            E      B  E
That never knew the meaning of hello or goodbye.
