 FSo much depeCnds
On first loves and frGmiends
Legs for a DmtabCle
FI, I painted my rCoom
With judgments and dGmoom
But I still ain't DmabC/Gle
To sBbleep, got to slAeep
And dDmream up some dDm/Creams I can kGeep
Oh Bb/Dmy, Bbmy marigold, marigFold
FI was walking at dCawn
When something turned Gmon
But I couldn't nDmame Cit
So FI, I went back hCome
I did it alGmone
But I couldn't cDmlaim C/Git
I tBbried, yes I trAied
I tDmried honey Dm/CI was denGied
Oh Bb/Dmy, Bbmy marigold, marigFold
Well Dmeverything becomes much more meaningless
As time passes Fby
So I Dmhide in the bedroom with strong curtains drawn
So I cBban't look the world in the eCye
FI heard you were wCell
I heard that you fGmell
Back on your fDmeetC  
Well Fme, I'm still in fCear
I planted her Gmhere
Right in the stDmreetC/G  
To sBbleep, so she slAeeps
And dDmreams with the Dm/Corphans and frGeaks
Oh Bb/Dmy, Bbmy marigold, marigFold
Now tFalk, talk it is chCeap
I talk in my sGmleep
I know what to DmsayC  
I sFaid, I said you were wCise
To let go of my eGmyes
And push me aDmwayC/G  
And Bbrun, yes you rAun
You Dmrun honey Dm/Cnothing gets dGone
Oh Bb/Dmy, Bbmy marigold, marigFold
But Dmall that I've learned it must be a chemical chFange
After Dmall I'm no different from the next twisted talker
Who's Bbtaking his lies to the grCave
FI wasn't mysCelf
I was nobody eGmlse
That I couldn't DmbeC  
Like yFou were nobody tCoo
To somebody Gmwho's exactly like FmeC/G  
So sBbleep, let her slAeep
And dDmream up the dDm/Creams we can kGeep
Oh Bb/Dmy, Bbmy marigold, marigoFld

F C Gm Dm C F C

Dm C

Bb A Dm Dm/C G Bb/D Bb F

F C

So much depends

On first loves and friends

Dm C

Legs for a table

F C

I, I painted my room

With judgments and doom

Dm C/G

But I still ain't able

Bb A

To sleep, got to sleep

Dm Dm/C G

And dream up some dreams I can keep

Bb/D Bb F

Oh my, my marigold, marigold

F C

I was walking at dawn

When something turned on

Dm C

But I couldn't name it

F C

So I, I went back home

I did it alone

Dm C/G

But I couldn't claim it

Bb A

I tried, yes I tried

Dm Dm/C G

I tried honey I was denied

Bb/D Bb F

Oh my, my marigold, marigold

Well everything becomes much more meaningless

As time passes by

So I hide in the bedroom with strong curtains drawn

Bb C

So I can't look the world in the eye

F C

I heard you were well

I heard that you fell

Dm C

Back on your feet

F C

Well me, I'm still in fear

I planted her here

Dm C/G

Right in the street

Bb A

To sleep, so she sleeps

Dm Dm/C G

And dreams with the orphans and freaks

Bb/D Bb F

Oh my, my marigold, marigold

F C

Now talk, talk it is cheap

I talk in my sleep

Dm C

I know what to say

F C

I said, I said you were wise

To let go of my eyes

Dm C/G

And push me away

Bb A

And run, yes you run

Dm Dm/C G

You run honey nothing gets done

Bb/D Bb F

Oh my, my marigold, marigold

Dm F

But all that I've learned it must be a chemical change

After all I'm no different from the next twisted talker

Bb C

Who's taking his lies to the grave

F C

I wasn't myself

I was nobody else

Dm C

That I couldn't be

F C

Like you were nobody too

Gm F C/G

To somebody who's exactly like me

Bb A

So sleep, let her sleep

Dm Dm/C G

And dream up the dreams we can keep

Bb/D Bb F

Oh my, my marigold, marigold
