[Verse]
A             Em7
What I wanted was to fall asleep

 A             Em7
Close my eyes and disappear

 A                 Em7                       A Em7
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air

 A         Em7
Lily white and poppy red

 A                G
I trembled when he laid me out

  A                           G                  A D
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down

 G                       D A
Nothing gonna wake you now
G A G A G A [Verse]
 A                 Em7
Dreams are sweet until they're not

  A           Em7
Men are kind until they aren't

 A             Em7                        A D
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart

 A         D
Is anybody listening?

  A              Em7
I open my mouth and nothing comes out

 A
Nothing

 A       D              A
Nothing gonna wake me now
G A G A G A [Verse]
 D*      A*
Flowers, I remember fields

   D*        A*           F#m*
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels

A*
Walking in the sun

D
I remember someone

A
Someone by my side

  D
Turned his face to mine

    G
And then I turned away

D             A
Into the shade
Bm A F#m G [Outro]
 A     G
You, the one I left behind

A            G            
If you ever walk this way

A*       G*        Em7                 A*
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
