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.
