Chords

Don't be daunted by any "fancy" chords and if F#m(7) is too hard then you can substitute it with the A chord and it still works [VERSES]

B                    F#m7
What I wanted was to fall asleep

B                   A
To close my eyes and disappear

B                 F#m7                     B
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air

B              F#m7
Lily white and poppy red

B                  A
I trembled when he laid me out

B                F#m7                        B   Asus2
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down

E                      A B
Nothing gonna wake you now

Bsus2            F#m7
Dreams are sweet until they're not

B            A
Men are kind until they aren't

B             F#m7                    B
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart

(Iffy after here but it still all works, it just doesn't sound quite right) [BRIDGE]

Bsus2      Asus2
Is anybody listening?

Bsus2               Asus2
I open my mouth and nothing comes out

F#m
Nothing

A                     B   A
Nothing gonna wake me now

E/B        B          G#m7
Flowers, I remember fields

   E/B         B            G#m7
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels

G#m7    F#/A#   B
Walking in the sun

E/B
I remember someone

G#m7   F#/A#   B
Someone by my side

E/B                  
Turned his face to mine

G#m7   F#/A#   B
And then I turned away

E         A
Into the shade

[OUTRO]

B        F#m7
You, the one I left behind

B           Amaj7
If you ever walk this way

B        A        A                B
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
