I've often wondered if there's

F              G        A
Ever been a perfect family

                              F
I've always longed for undividedness

         G          A
And sought stability

    F
A flower taught me how to pray

    F6
But as I grew, that flower changed

    Fmaj7
She started flailing in the wind

     F6/9
Like golden petals scattering
[CHORUS 1]
      F             G
And I miss you dandelion

         A
And even love you

      F                G
And I wish there was a way

                A
For me to trust you

       F              G
But it hurts me every time

         A
I try to touch you

      F        G
But I miss you dandelion

              A
And even love you

Asus2                  F
I gravitated towards a patriarch

   G             A
So young predictably

A
I was resigned to spend my life

F      G            A
With a maze of misery

  F
A boy and a girl befriended me

   F6
We bonded through despondency

  Fmaj7
I stayed so long but finally

  F6/9
I fled to save my sanity
[CHORUS 2]
      F               G
And I miss you little sis and

          A
Little brother

      F           G
And I hope you realize

                A
L'll always love you

      F                   G
And although you're struggling

           A
You will recover

      F               G
And I miss you little sis and

          Asus
Little brother
A5 Am G Fmaj7
Dm      Dm/C
So many I considered

Am
Closest to me

Dm
Turned on a dime and sold me

Am         Am9
Out dutifully

Dm
Although that knife was chipping

Am
Away at me

  Dm
They turned their eyes away and

Em/A         A
Went home to sleep ...
[CHORUS 3]
Am/G  F               G
And I missed a lot of life

           A
But l'II recover

         F               G
Though I know you really like

           A
To see me suffer

        F                 G
Still I wish that you and I'd

               A
Forgive each other

         F              G
'Cause I miss you, Valentine

             Asus2
And really loved you

         F      G
I really loved you -

A
I tried so hard

        F            G
But you drove me away

               A
To preserve my sanity -

      F         G           A
And I found the strength to break away

F  G
Fly...
[Rainbow Interlude]
A
I know 

           C#m7
there is a rainbow

             D
For me to follow 

         C/G  G7 Am G
To get beyond my sorrow

A                       C#m7
Thunder precedes the sunlight

F#m           D
so I'll be alright

         C/G  G7   Am  G     A    C#m7
If I can find that rainbow's end

Dmaj7                      C/G  G7   Am  G     A
I will be alright if I can find that rainbow's

    D     E     B
End
