AOh, no!
There goes, tF#mhere goes my head
AThere goes my hEeadA  
AThrow ten on in, in the swear jar
AIn the swear jar
AOutside storms cry, F#minside now
DNot much better, stormy weatherA  
AI am writing a song book on a mountain
[Verse 2]
EIn the garden where we built a Dhome
ABlack flowers
EIn the stories, the lies that Dthey wrote
AEscape me
EAnd the winged horses that we once Drode
Have Astopped breathing
EIn the garden where we built Da home
ABlack flowers
AOne, two, three, four
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
DIn the garden where we built a Ahome
And the stDories, the lies that they Awrote
DAnd the winged horses that we once Arode
DAre all strung out and spun out Ay'know
[Chorus]
DIn the garden where built a Ahome
DAnd the roads that we built all Acorrode
DIn the garden where we built a Ahome
DOnce a river, a sea now a Amote
[Verse 4]
DAnd the black flowers grow all Aaround
DAnd the angels who died in our Asound
DNow nothing will come of this Anow
DFor nothing can grow from the Aground
[Verse 5]
DAnd no one we know now will sAave us
DLike no one we know woAuld try
DLike everything once is now Aover
DJust as everything once has Adied
[Chorus]
DIn the garden where we built a Ahome
DAnd all those we kept in Atow
DThe weeper with his tiny Apiano
DThe willow with her singing Asaw
DThe jeweler with her cast iron hAammer
DOh, the ivy, the crows, and the Alaw
[Chorus]
DIn the garden where we built a Ahome
DAll's dark inside the tAower
DIn the garden where we built a Ahome
DBlack flowersA
