Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

In fields where nothing grew but weeds,

 I found a flower at my feet,

  (single strum)

Bending there in my direction,

I wrapped a hand around its stem,

 I pulled until the roots gave in,

 Finding there what I’d been missing,

But I know

So I tell myself, I tell myself it’s wrong.

There’s a point we pass from which we can’t return.

I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.

 All because of you,

 I haven’t slept in so long.

 When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,

 Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,

 I’ll follow your voice,

 All you have to do is shout it out.

Inside my hands these petals browned,

 Dried up, falen n to the ground

But it was already too late now.

I pushed my fingers through the earth,

 Returned this flower to the dirt,

 So it could live. I walked away now.

But I know…

 Not a day goes by that I don’t feel this burn.

There’s a point we pass from which we can’t return.

I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.

 All because of you,

 I haven’t slept in so long.

 When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,

 Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,

 I’ll follow your voice,

 All you have to do is shout it out.

*solo*

 rhythm guitar plays:

play on bass strings but make last "A" a power chord

 All because of you,

 I haven’t slept in so long.

 When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,

 Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,

  Inside these arms of yours.

 All because of you,

 I believe in angels.

 Not the kind with wings,

 No, not the kind with halos,

 The kind that bring you home,

 When home becomes a strange place.

 I’ll follow your voice,

 All you have to do is shout it out.
